Trick or Treat

We had a great Halloween here in Davis. Hannah dressed up as a fire truck and loved every minute of Halloween this year. She was so excited about the costume, about trick or treating and of course the candy. Everytime she got a piece of candy in her basket she asked if she could eat, that was a little bit of a battle but non the less fun. We went downtown Davis first in the afternoon for their annual trick or treating of the downtown businesses and here are some pictures:



There was volvo driving around downtown made up to look like "Ecto 1" from Ghostbusters and they were blasting the Ghostbusters music:



Here is Hannah getting down to the music from the Ghostbusters movie:



We ran into her friend, Dylan from school who was dressed up like a fireman and they enjoyed checking each others costumes out:



After we finished up trick or treating downtown we went home to eat dinner and then after dinner Adam took Hannah out trick or treating around the neighborhood for the first time ever. I stayed home b/c I was too tired from the afternoon trick or treating. Adam and Hannah had great fun though and Hannah came home with even more candy!



Then Hannah really enjoyed handing candy out to all the trick or treaters that came to our house. She was even yelling at people from our doorway to "Hey, come over here for some candy!". At one point we were on the sidewalk with our basket of candy and a car drove by and she yelled at the car "You want to stop for some candy!?". We had to explain to her that cars don't trick or treat.

The next morning when she woke up she came into our room and started crying and asking "Why we were giving out her candy to the people that came to our door?". I think she woke up and started replaying the night in her head and it occurred to her that she got candy and we were giving out candy so we must have been giving out her candy. I quickly explained to her that we were not giving out her candy but rather a separate bowl of candy that we bought special for the trick or treaters. We would never give out her candy! Although now both Adam and I can't wait for that candy to be gone b/c she has been on a sugar high all weekend. I think in the next few days it will magically disappear. :)

Hannah is an adorable fire truck. That is a great costume! Looks like fun! Yeah for downtown Davis - trick-or-treating to businesses is a wonderful and safe way to enjoy the festivities!
