Trunk or Treat

So last night was our primer for Halloween. Natalie was talking about going trick-or-treating all week and finally got to put on her costume and we went to the Church for our Fall Harvest party. Mom and dad dressed up too and we had a grand old time. They had carnival booths set up by the young men of the wards (there were two wards there) and they had a chili cook off and potluck dinner (dad was very disappointed with the lack of spice in the chili there, but it was still very tasty). Natalie wanted to dress as a pink poodle and the hood part was a little small so we put her hair into pony tails, and painted a nose and whiskers on her face (which she loved). Then Natalie's favorite part of the night was trunk or treating in the parking lot. She did great and always said "thank you". This is a great age because it's more about dressing up and the act of going around getting candy than actually eating the candy. Natalie hasn't even wanted to see her candy today, much less eat some. Dad even tried to share some smarties with her and she declined. All in all it was fun had by all. Whoa, say that five times fast while eating a tootsie roll.
