"Olivia the Good Witch of the Northwest"

We had so much fun this Halloween! Olivia didn't really get what was going on, but she had fun dressing up, playing with other dressed up kids, and knocking on doors where people greeted her with treats (who wouldn't love that). She was a cute little witch and she loved her costume... well everything but the hat. On Halloween night Myles was at school until late so his sister Misha and I took Olivia around the neighborhood and it was a blast! Our new neighborhood is a neighborhood with a lot of families, so a ton of kids were out and the homes were decorated up so cute, it reminded me of a movie. I'd forgotten how fun trick or treating was and it was so great taking Olivia around and seeing her eyes light up every time someone stuck a big bowl of candy infront of her face. She caught on to the whole routine by the third house. She'd help us knock on the door and then when the candy came she would take a piece, just one (so polite), and then stick it in her pumpkin treat bag, we'd say thanks and then we were off to the next house. The holidays are so fun with kids around, it just reminds you of the excitement you felt when you were little and that is the best feeling in the world.

Liv was not happy when I tried to squish her hat on her head...

but she got over it when she noticed the camera and I told her how pretty she looked.

Liv was so willing to share her candy with everyone. We tried to cherish the moment because we were sure this would be the last year she'd give up her Halloween treats so easily.

On the Saturday before Halloween we also went on a little adventure to Biringer Farm, which was so fun. They had animals, a pumpkin patch, a corn maze, slides, music, a little trolley to ride on and lots of mud! Olivia loved it and she drew a crowd of admirers when she started showing off her dance moves near the entrance of the farm. I think the music was her favorite thing and she wasn't afraid to let everyone know it.

Liv loves animals, but only from a distance. She gets really nervous when they get too close, probably because this psycho cat pounced on her once.

Later that evening we went to Myles' parents ward for a Halloween party and "trunk or treat." So needless to say Olivia had a ton of Halloween fun and was completely exhausted by the end of the day.

Liv loves playing with other kids so she had BLAST!
