Halloween!

For Halloween we went got together with some friends.  We ate dinner together and then set out to go trick or treating.  There were 7 kids in the pack.  Abbie dresesd up as a princess.  When we started I am not sure she understood what she was doing, but as soon as she started seeing people placing candy in her pumpkin basket she was sold.  As we walked down the street she would see houses that were lit up and she would point to them and say let's go.  She would walk up to the house sometimes past scary lights and pictures right up to the person sitting outside.  Quickly Abbie learned to say trick or treat without prompting.  As a family we have decided it is way more fun to trick or treat with friends! 

Pumpkin Patch

One of Abbie's good friends had her birthday party at a pumpkin patch.  During her party we got to take a hayride, pick a pumpkin, and play in a sandbox of corn kenerals.  Abbie took her time and looked through all of the pumpkins unitl she found the perfect one. 

ELMO Live

In October we took Abbie to see Sesame Street Live.  She loves Elmo and so we thought she would love this!  On the day of the trip I told her we were going to see Elmo.  Abbie loved the show and sat very still through the entire thing.   Anytime Elmo left the stage and another character started singing,  Abbie would put her hands up and say Where's Elmo?  As if Elmo should have been the only character on the stage for the entire show.  I guess I should have explained that some of Elmo's friends would be there too!
