Ana had an incredibly fun filled Halloween. We started out the day hosting a playgroup Halloween party, which essentially means they all played together in the usual manner only they were dressed as fairies, lions, pirates, and witches.


Then in the afternoon we met up with some friends to Trick-or-Treat the businesses at the Sunset Esplanade shopping center. I wasn’t entirely sure how Ana would react to all the people in costumes and though a dry run during daylight hours would be a smart plan. Turns out she really took to Trick-or-Treating once she realized people were giving away candy.


Then we met up with my dad at the bank where my step-mom works to let her see Ana in her Halloween costume. My dad had no idea that people were Trick-or-Treating the local businesses and decided he wanted to go see Ana Trick-or-Treat a bit. We did one square block and were so overwhelmed with the insanity of the crowds that we called it a day.


Ana and I then headed home so Simeon could come with us as we Trick-or-Treated our neighbors on our cul-de-sac.

By then Ana was highly skilled in candy acceptance and we made our way home with a heavy bag of treats, the majority of which Ana can’t even eat. Oh well, Simeon and I will fulfill our parental duties and “help” Ana by taking care of the candy she can’t have. All in all, it was a very successful day and most importantly Ana had a wonderful time.
