Trick or Treat

We had a great Halloween...other than Sam having to be out of town. Mayson was Mickey Mouse...why Mickey instead of Minnie? This girl is obessed w/ Mickey Mouse. We try to limit her tv but if she could, she would watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse all day. She isn't really old enough to understand Halloween but when she saw the costume in the Disney store, we knew we had to get it. She was so exicted to put it on Halloween night.
Mayson and I went over to Tuscaloosa to stay w/ LaLa since Sam was gone. Granddad came over and went trick or treating with us. Mayson wasn't sure what to do at first but figured it out after one house. Because she is allergic to peanuts, and almost every candy is processed in a plant that uses peanuts, we had to have a plan. It's not that easy taking candy from an almost 2 year old--if she decides she wants it. Since LaLa is such a great Grandmother she got all this safe candy and made little bags. She ran up to each door ahead of Mayson and told the person that Mayson had food allergies and asked if they would give her the bag instead of their candy. It worked out really well. Maybe next year Mayson will be old enough to reason with about what candy to eat or not but this year she wasn't. She really enjoyed opening all the bags too.



Mickey Mouse...her ears were a little floppy



She got the hang of what to do pretty quick

Checking out all of her loot...I should have gotten video of the sugar high that took place later.
