Happy Halloween - Trick or Treat??

Our little ladybug came trick-or-treating to our house tonight. She was so adorable, this is the first year that she actually liked dressing up. The last few years she didn't want anything to do with dressing up or trick-or-treating. She takes after Uncle Adam.... except he never liked it. His favorite Halloween was to go to Gayley-bird's house and help her hand out the candy. One year he dressed up and sat in a chair with the candy bowl in his lap like he was stuffed and then when the little kids would grab out their candy he would jump up and scare them.... he liked that part and so did Gayle.





Of course Grandma had to spoil Elly and since she was the only treater we got tonight she gets the whole bowl of treats!!







Now next year she'll have to share with the other two little ones that will join this family..... yes you heard me.... two!! First will be Shannon's November Baby that will join us any day now and then Lynn and Jesse are expecting their first baby in June!
TRICK OR TREAT???
TREAT!!
Or should we say "Blueberry"??
Here's the story for that comment.... Shortly after we found out about Lynn expecting Elly, Shannon and I were driving to meet Lynn. Elly was looking at a baby book that Shan was giving to her. Elly asked what Tia's (Lynn's) baby looked like, so Shan found the picture of the stage the baby was at. Elly and I had a conversation that I will never forget
Grandma - "Elly, what can you see on the baby"
Elly - "Cheeks, Eyes, Head, Legs, Arms, Chin and a Nose"
Grandma - " You can see all of that?"
Elly - "Yeap"
Grandma - "Wow"
Elly - "Grandma, how big is Tia's baby"
Grandma - "Hummmm I don't know"
Shannon - "Elly give me the book and I'll find out how big it is"
Shannon - "It's as big as a blueberry"
Elly - "A BLUEBERRY"
Grandma - "Elly do you know how big a blueberry is?"
Elly - "Yes, but I didn't know a blueberry could have cheeks and a chin?"
So when we finally got by Tia, Elly runs over to her, jumps up in her arms and says "Tia your having a blueberry".

Congratulations!! Felicity is a ladybug too. I will post a pic in a couple days. I can't wait to have cool conversations with her. I feel like I know Elly from reading your posts, being grandma is pretty cool.
