Catching Up With Caitlin: Happy Halloween

I had SOOO much fun celebrating Halloween this year! It was the best year yet! I loved showing off my costume, decorating, trick or treating, playing games, showing Liam and James how it all works, and of course my favorite part: candy!!!

Tinkerbell & Super Mario

I started the week-long celebration with trunk or treat at our church on Sunday afternoon. That's when everyone decorates the trunks of their cars for Halloween, and you walk from car to car and trick or treat. It was so fun! Lots of my church friends were there, and one of the trunks was Papa's!

We found Papa's trunk first!

It was a really nice day!

Check out this monster trunk!

Some of the grown-ups were dressed up, too.

James had fun!

Liam wasn't sure what to think,
but he was smiley as usual!

Charlotte was a Minnie Mouse witch!

Next was my classroom Halloween party on Friday. I don't go to school on Fridays usually because Mommy doesn't work, but she brought me to school just for the party. It was really cool because Mommy and Liam got to stay with me at the party! First we had snack, and then it was time for games! My favorite was the spooky obstacle course. I did it 3 times! Plus, you got a treat every time you finished a game, so I got more candy and snacks for my treat bucket!

Then on Saturday, Halloween day was finally here! First we went to Corinth Square, the shops by our house, for a warm-up round of trick or treating in the afternoon. It was really fun! It wasn't too crowded, and the shops are all really close together, so it went pretty quick!

Trick or treat!

He even had a Yoshi doll to go with his costume!

Having so much fun!

After Corinth Square, we stopped by Great Grandma & Grandpa's for a quick visit so they could see our awesome costumes! James was there with Aunt Hilary & Uncle Jake, too. I had fun showing off my trick or treating goodies and sharing my candy with everyone!

I love Halloween!

After our quick visit, we loaded back up in the car one more time and headed out to Nana & Papa's house for some real neighborhood trick or treating. It was my first time, and I had a blast! Mommy told me I needed to walk up to the front door, ring the doorbell, say "trick or treat," and then say "thank you," after I got my treat. At first, I kept ringing the doorbell and then saying "trick or treat" before anyone answered the door, but I got the hang of it after a few houses!
