Baby Girl's first Halloween

(I think I may need to break the habit of calling her "Baby Girl", seeing as she'll be one in two weeks and there's another baby on the way.  Especially if said baby is another girl!)

Eliza's first Halloween, admittedly, wasn't a very big deal.  She can't have candy.  She can't yet walk.  So, it seemed a little pointless to take her out trick-or-treating.  Our church hosts a yearly Halloween Alternative, this year in the form of a Trunk-or-Treat with face painting, balloons, and popcorn.  This year my parents hosted a trunk, so we put Eliza in her ladybug costume and set off for church.  She was neither a fan of the crowd or of all the strange costumes.  The only time she smiled was when she saw her friends Elizabeth and Sarah and wanted to hug them both.  (I really wish I'd gotten pictures of that!)

Afterwards we came home, had a snack of Cheerios, and then joined our friends Tricia and Rachel handing out candy to the neighborhood kids from the house's front door.  Eliza seemed to really like how soft her costume was, and she threw a small fit when it came time to take it off.  But otherwise, it was a quiet, and very short, Halloween.  Next year, though, we might head out for tricks or treats.
