Halloween was THAT night! I was totally prepared for a child who was not into the party, not into the walking, not into the costume, not in to any of it.....but for some miraculous reason, that child didn't show up! Ava was totally happy, pointing out little kids in their costumes, loving everything she saw and was totally happy about keeping her costume and headband on for most of the night! I was so surprised. It's usually when I want her to be this kid, she decides otherwise! She even let me take some pictures before we left the house.
We headed over to my Cousin's house for a fun night with all of their friends. Ava was having fun with her little cousins while we ate yummy soup out of bread bowls. It was very 'fall'esque but were all in t-shirts & flip flops. Gotta love an Arizona Halloween!
Ava was walking up and down the street holding her treat bag and saying "twit-o-teet" or "hahy haweeeeeen". I was cracking up! And after the candy dropped in her bag she would say "tee tyou". Ken would then take the candy out and give it back...we certainly don't need it and Ava has no clue what it actually is!
It was such a magical night! I feel like we finally have this big kid who really wants to play along with everything we put in front of her! It was a great night....fun with family, good food and a happy kid = perfection!
She looks so cute and you are better them I we kept the girls candy and Adam and I will be comsuming most of it.
