Halloween!!!

This Halloween was so much fun. Mckinley (while she still doesn't really get what the heck is going on) seemed to enjoy herself. She was also able to actually go trick or treating---well by "actually going" meant that she either slowly walked or was carried to a doorstep, stood next to her cousin, looked around at everyone thinking they were crazy, was forced to hold out her precious basket, then immediately removed whatever item was placed in her basket examined it and then handed it to mom. So yeah, I think she liked it! It was obvious however that to her the best part was being able to walk around the streets with tons of kids!

To our surprise though, she left her costume on all night and didn't protest once--head piece and all! So now I present to you our little elephant...the cutest one to ever exist!

"Trick or Treat"-- First stop was Papa Randy's. With no other kids in sight, she really had no idea what we were doing! 

Papa...why don't you have a costume on?

                  

 Apparently, we are also practicing for Easter...unfortunately there was no candy in the bushes though.

Here was one of our first houses. What you find out as a parent trying to document this event is that you get a lot of pictures of the back of your child! Still cute! Look at her little tail! :)

We were getting pretty tired by this point...I mean we had been to like 10 houses by now. What little elephant wouldn't be pooped? Good thing we had daddy to carry us!

           Kitty-cat mommy (minus the half-rubbed off nose) and Elephant Kinley had such a great time!!

I cannot believe how big she is getting. We had a blast with our family and made fun memories for Kinely...mommy and daddy also made out with quiet a loot of candy from our little elephant's basket!

And, just for reminiscing sake, here are some pictures of Kinely from her first Halloween last year....
