Happy (Belated) Halloween!!

Olivia ended up having a very busy Halloween. As you can see, she was an adorable little flower. She did great in the costume, but since it was so beautiful outside (temps were in the 70's) she got warm rather quickly. Therefore, her time in the costume was pretty limited. I knew everyone would want to see Olivia in her first Halloween costume, so I had to figure out how to visit everyone, but still be back for our own Halloween tradition at home. (We set the fire pit out in the driveway, invite our neighbors over, and pass out candy to whatever trick-or-treaters show up. We may partake in an adult beverage or two as well and usually some friends end up showing up too.) Well we made the rounds to all of the grandparents and got some great pictures!


Our first stop was to see Great-Grandma and G-pa.


Next we headed over to Grandpa's house where we got to see the whole gang: Grandpa, cousins Aurora and Annabella, Aunt Jennie, and Uncle Vern. When I tried to take this picture of the girls with Grandpa, Liv was already roasting in her costume and had quite enough. Hence the look on her face!

Our last stop was trick-or-treating with Grandma at her work: Gordon Food Service.

Olivia really liked the lite up ghost that decorated Grandma's department.

Another department had giant inflatable Halloween decorations. Olivia really loved these!

Aunt Anne decided Olivia needed to sample her first sucker. :) Actually, she really seemed to like it. She sucked on it for awhile, but when she started playing with it we knew it was time to throw the sucker out!
As you can see, Olivia really did have a busy day. However despite very little napping, she really was a happy girl on her first Halloween.

What a super cute flower Olivia was! I like your kind of trick-or-treating (fire pit with adult beverages), we might have to drive over next year. Go GFS!
