Halloween 2011

Candy!

Ellie was all about the candy this year. She sometimes says, "pize" when she wants some because we've given her a surprise, aka dum-dum sucker, when we've bribed her. Yes, we bribe her. Like when I'm only halfway through Wal-Mart and she starts to wail, or when we're taking our family pictures and she starts to cry, etc. Anyway, she likes candy. So do I. So we took her trick-or-treating. She had a blast! Mostly she just loves to be with all her cousins.

She is talking so much now and you can really understand most of what she says. At least I can. She would say, "trick treat" when we went up to a door, "tank you" when the nice person dropped candy in her basket, and "buh-bye" as we walked away. She's very polite. After 2 fun size Skittles and 2 suckers (the most sugar she's ever had in her short little life) she was up until 11:00 p.m. and then slept in until 9:45 a.m.!

Here is my little Minnie Mouse on Halloween 2011!
