I waited too long to post about Halloween, but Nathan was the cutest monkey and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to share a few pictures from our Halloween festivities.
The night before Halloween we went to our ward's "Trunk-or-Treat" which was actually in the church this year. We went door-to-door and through some decorated classrooms to trick or treat. Nathan was pretty good at it. He needed a little coaching, but he would say "trick or treat" in his soft little voice and say "gank you" for the candy. It was pretty fun.
By the end of the night, he wouldn't take his costume off (in the beginning I was wondering if he'd even keep in on for 5 minutes).
The costume had a cute curly tail and a banana in the pocket!

We got quite a good bag of candy that night. Then we stayed home on Halloween night to pass out candy to the kids in our neighborhood. Nathan wanted to dress up again and we sat on our porch for a couple hours and only had a few trick-or-treaters. We passed out all we could and we still have so much candy left over. He asks for "treats" every day now.
Nathan also really enjoyed all the pumpkins and parties and still talks about Halloween.
Now we are already talking about Christmas around here. Even though it's still 80 degrees, there's Christmas lights up, Christmas trees and music everywhere and even some fake snow at Town Square. He's even got pretty close to Santa already and I'm thinking maybe this year he won't freak out so bad when it's time to sit on Santa's lap. If he could handle all the scary Halloween costumes and not get scared, Santa shouldn't be that hard to handle right?
