Halloween 2010!

This halloween was super fantastic for Sophie! Last week, Sophie went to a holiday party as Belle and had a great time making cookies, getting candy and hanging out with lots of kids (see blog below). This weekend, Sophie went to another party at the Edwards' house. She met lots of new kids as well as got to play with two little ones she knew. To this party, she dressed as Snow White. She had fun eating lots of yummy food, playing with a pinata (ok, she decided not to hit it, but she did watch it getting hit and had fun fetching some candy amongst the other little kids), and she got to show off her new baby sister, who was dressed as a lady bug.

Tonight was Halloween. All day, Sophie asked when she could go trick-or-treating. Initially, Mommy distracted her by a trip to the park, then Daddy distracted her with a trip to see Grandma and Grandpa. Once the sun was mostly down (around 6:15pm), Daddy and Sophie went trick-or-treating and Mommy maintained the homestead and the sleeping baby. Sophie decided to go out tonight as Belle. She had a great time walking the neighborhood and even helped Mommy later hand out candy while sitting under blankets on our front stoop. By 8pm, Sophie was ready for bed, which is a bit early for her.

Penny missed the trick-or-treating, but she was awake for some of yesterday's party. So, in effect, she did get to experience Halloween this year too.

On a completely different matter,Penny smiled at Mommy twice today while awake. It was a beautiful thing and Mommy hopes to catch it with the camera soon. Even smiling, she still looks like Sophie did as a baby. :)
