Trick or Treat

Kelsey was a monkey this year for Halloween, and she played the part well :) When you asked her what a monkey says, she would jump around and say "ooh, ooh, ooh, ahh, ahh, ahh." We even tied some red bows on the ears just to make the costume a little more girly. We practiced saying trick or treat because this was the first year that she actually went door to door.


To start the Halloween fun, we went to the Knights of Columbus kid's party at St. Mary's. It had games and prizes for the kids, and all you had to donate was a can of food to get in.


Next up, we went to Great-Grandpa and Steve's house.

After that we made our way to Nate and Diane's. They have a very kid friendly neighborhood and we did our door to door trick or treating there with the Ginskeys, and Grandma and Grandpa. It should be noted that Matt was Dad of the Day by dressing up to join in the festivities with Kelsey. It was cute to see them together.



While trick or treating, Kelsey serenaded us with a rendition of Holy, Holy, Holy. I have no idea why she picked that, but I guess she is getting something out of church afterall. Once at the door she would say "trick or treat" and "thank you" followed by "next house."

While walking, Jacob was her hand holding buddy. Nolan really wanted to hold her hand too, but she pretty partial to Jacob.


Before heading home, we stopped by Mary's and a family friend's house. I was not sure she would stay awake for the stops, but she made it.

When we got home, we found our own neighborhood swamped with cars, so we went to a few of our own neighbors' houses before calling it a night.
