We went to our ward's trunk-or-treat a few days before Halloween and Elise loved following her friends around and that's where she figured out people were giving her candy. She especially loved the suckers and would hold onto one in each hand while she watched people putting more candy in her pumpkin bucket. On the morning of Halloween we went with friends to the special storytime and pumpkin carving contest at my library, which was a lot of fun. The local news was there doing a story and got some footage of Elise that they used as part of the teaser to the story...she looked very cute! On Halloween night itself Elise was too shy to walk and instead she clung to my side--James said she looked more like a koala than a kangaroo and that we picked the wrong costume!
Here are a few pictures:
Elise painted her pumpkin all by herself this year--much safer than trying to carve a pumpkin with a toddler!
Elise as a kangaroo on the floor of the library...
Kangaroos love to forage for food...
...and sometimes make big messes when they get into chocolate!
