Halloween Haunts

Once again I have been slacking on the blog front. Busy life I guess. Anyway, we had a great Halloween. The weather has been exceptionally warm lately so it made for a perfect night. We had our usual chili party and a houseful of friends and family. Due to our schedules we were unable to have an official party for Maeve's birthday (back on October 2) so we decided to celebrate on Halloween. All the kids have had an Elmo cake on their 2nd birthday, so we kept up that tradition and Susie made an Elmo cake for Maeve.

Aidan was much more into Trick or Treat this year and I think he would have gone for hours had we let him. Cian and Fintan we only semi-impressed, but they made it about one block. Maeve didn't understand at all, but enjoyed some of the benefits (the candy). All in all it was a great night. Now all the Halloween decorations have been put away and we are almost ready to bust out the *tree*!!

Maeve not quite understanding why everyone is singing to her. She managed to blow the candles out with some help from Aidan and friends.
