Halloween in Vegas

This year Kira picked Ariel. This was the first year she was old enough to realize what "dress-up" was and what "trick-or- treating" was. We talked it over with her and she decided she was going to be Ariel... her favorite princess, because "we both have pink hair" (or so Kira says)

On Friday night we went to our wards trunk-or-treat/soup potluck competition. She had a great time going from car to car and getting some candy (her favorites are the suckers) and then once she went around the one time she had fun handing out candy to those who "re-visited' or hadn't come around yet.

(This is her handing out candy)

On Saturday we were supposed to join a friend in their trunk-or-treating but they came down with colds (they are all on the mend) but we already had Kira dressed up and ready to go so I looked on-line real quick to check out some free options and we decided to hit the government building in Las Vegas. Kira had a great time moving from table to table collecting candy AND someone was even handing free trophies. Like real trophies... below is the only picture we could get of her with her trophy which she thinks she won for being Ariel. (Anyone else have a 3 year old going on 16?.... the attitude of this girl amazes me!)


All in all it was a great Halloween. On Sunday, actual Halloween, we hung out with cousins and she got to give out candy to the 8 kids who came to our door. We may try real trick or treating next year, when it's not on a Sunday and she isn't wearing plastic heals .....

'Til next time....
