Halloween 2012

We sure hope everyone had as fun of a Halloween as we did! We seemed to pack as much activity & fun as possible into one day.

It started off with Camille's parade at school. All the kids were allowed to wear their costumes to school that morning where they paraded around the gym for the teachers, church staff, and parents. They were all so cute.... here is my sweet clown and some of the other kids in her class.

A few hours later, after her class party and nap, I picked Camille up early from school to head to a nearby park that was hosting their first annual trick or treat in the park. We went with Camille's best buddy Madelyn aka Minnie Mouse. The girls had so much fun, but got a bit tired walking the one mile loop for candy, so good thing we brought the wagon!

You'll notice Camille's clown makeup got a bit heavier as the afternoon went on. Well, she loved wearing the clown makeup so much, that she kept wanting me to add more shapes and colors and wanted her entire face covered. I figured, its her costume, so I obliged her requests.

After coming home to refresh our candy bucket, we got ready to head to the Fall Festival at Camille's school. We have attended this festival every year, but it is usually a few days prior to Halloween. I imagine more and more churches and groups are trying to get kids to come to festivals and "trunk or treats" instead of going door to door?

I have to admit, it certainly was easier to attend the festival than to stay at home and hand out candy all night ;) Especially since the festival had bounce houses, candy, music, and some delicious hotdogs, fries, and apple turnovers!!!

I can't believe its already November! Camille has been counting down to her birthday for several months now...... and we are running out of milestones to tell her she has to wait for before its time for her birthday. Guess we don't have much longer to countdown until our little princess is 3!!!
