Trick-or-Treat!

For Halloween this year, we decided to go to my sister's house so Ethan could trick-or-treat with his cousins. Ethan and I drove up with my Mom earlier in the day and let Ethan play with his cousins while we helped my sister get ready for their Halloween Party with Cody's family.  We ate a dinner of cornbread and homemade chili that Cody's mom made, which was delicious! After dinner, we got all the kiddos dressed in their costumes and tired to take a successful picture of them...we were partially successful.

I can't get over how cute Ethan was in his little Alligator costume! He held onto his pumpkin bucket the whole night and wouldn't let go.

 He toddled down the street after his cousins (who were all running as fast as they could to the next house) and even though he couldn't keep up, he still thought it was pretty fun.  Dan got there just when the kids were going out trick-or-treating so Ethan got to walk around with his daddy. 

Ethan was adorable at the door. Usually one of his older cousins would ring the doorbell, say "Trick-or-Treat, get their candy, and take off running to the next house, but Ethan would just stand their until the older kids were gone and stare at the people giving out candy. This usually got big smiles out of everyone since he wasn't scared of them. He loved it when they let him pick out a treat. He'd carefully choose one and drop it in his bucket then stare at them some more until Dan or I carried him away.

 Ethan and Tucker sat together in the truck checking out their loot.

Ethan was extremely tired at the end of the night and so he looks half asleep in our family picture.

Happy Halloween!!
