Happy Halloween 2009!

This was the first year Anja went trick-or-treating, and she enjoyed herself immensely.  She loved her costume (a candy corn, in case you can’t figure it out), and has had it on several times prior to Halloween.

She would say “Trick or Treat” about 15 times before each person would get to the door, and then when they opened it, she had to be coaxed to say anything.  But as soon as they put something in her little bag, she would do a happy dance and say, “Thank you.  Happy Halloween!”  Fairly charming, if you ask me.

We just went up and down our street, but she had quite a haul when we got home.  That turned out to be a good thing, since we ran out of candy at our own door and actually had to give a piece of hers away!  Here she is with her bag, pleased to pieces.

And though Grandma has already seen this outfit, here’s a little shirt I got her at Old Navy.

Excuse the cheesy smile (grimace?).  That’s about all we get from her in front of a camera these days.  🙂
