Halloween 2010

While vacationing in Austria a little under two years ago, I bought Morgan a dirndl in one of the shops in town. Dirndls are the traditional attired for girls and women in the Bavarian region of Germany. I figured one day it might fit her. In early October of 2010, I decided to see if it fit her. Lo and behold, not only did it fit her, it was already getting snug. With Halloween upon us, I decided to make it her costume. We think she looked adorable...but a lot of people on Halloween evening kept saying, "Very cute. What are you?" Ha. So instead of saying a beer maiden..we said..."a milk maiden!" We did a loop around the blog to do some trick or treating, and by then we were exhausted. Morgan loved walking up and down the steps and ringing the doorbells (and even ran INTO one neighbors house)...in fact, the next day on the way to school she wanted to stop at each house and knock on the door! After trick or treating, we returned home where Morgan had her first candy bar. Ever. A Snickers. Let's just say the Snickers factory has a friend for life. After tallying her loot, we put Morgan's PJ's on and headed out front with our neighbors to hand out candy to the other kids. I think this was probably her favorite part of the day. Oh - and I forgot to mention - prior to Halloween, Morgan "helped" me carve a pumpkin and we went to Zoo Boo and had a blast!
