In preparation for her first Halloween Piper was up to all kinds of new tricks...the first and most exciting - she is walking!! I cannot believe it. She waited a longer than Mia and Lily to take those first few steps (both of the other girls were walking by 10 months), but Piper took her own sweet time. She is almost one and now has the desire to be on the move. Next, she has discovered the fun of sitting in her toy basket (thanks to big sister Mia that put her in there the first time). Also, she has found access to all the cabinets and drawers in the house, and loves to pull everything out!! When not rummaging through cabinets she finds my bag and pulls everything out. Lots of cleaning up behind Piper all day. It's a good thing she is do darn cute - it makes it hard to get mad.
But with all of her new tricks she was quite at treat for Halloween. She was a little spider, and loved her costume!! She wore it a few times - the church party, trick-or-treating at dad's office - and then for Halloween night we left her at home to pass out candy with dad while the big girls and mom gathered lots of candy!!
At the end of the night, she was fascinated with playing with all the candy. She never tried to eat it, just put it in and out of the bags.
Mia and Lily loved their Halloween in Utah! They were a colorful duo - Mia was the crayon box and Lily was a pink crayon. So darling, and easy! It was so delightful to be out trick-or-treating for hours and never hear a complaint about being hot, tired or wanting to get out of their costumes. It was a beautiful night and it was fun to spend Halloween with my sister and her son, Hayden, and some other new friends. The evening was a success - and we now have more candy than we will ever eat!!
