Halloween 2011 marks the holiday Madeline has been most exited about in her short life. She found out about 3 weeks before the big day that there would be a Halloween party at church on the evening of Halloween. She was sure this party was being thrown just for her. She invited everyone she knew. She would tell me daily, "In two more Sundays and then one more day we're going to the PARTY!" She decorated our house in hand-drawn halloween art.
The big day finally came. She was wild with excitement. And she had reason to be exited, because she looted more candy than a 3 year old should eat in a whole year. After dinner they had all of the adults at the party move their chairs to the perimeter of the gym to hand out their candy. The kids just had to make a big loop around the gym, and ended up with overflowing trick-or-treat buckets. What would have taken us hours in the cold outside only took 15 minutes inside. I'm a big fan. That is THE way to trick-or-treat with a 3 year old.

This video is sideways, and I don't know how to fix it. Madeline's reciting a cute halloween poem Grandma Serr taught her.
