Trick Or Treat

I took Nicolynn trick-or-treating all over town yesterday. We had such a good time. She was a little bee, and it kept her so warm!!! All morning we worked on saying "trick or treat" and then after the candy went in the bucket, to say "Thanks." I'd really rather her say "Thank you" but every time I ask her to do that she doesn't say anything or she'll say "please". So now we try to have her say "thanks" and that seems to work out just fine.

First stop was Grandma's work with Zachary and Levi. Nicolynn received the cutest little goodie bags from Grandma and Ms. Sue. I don't think Nicolynn really knew what was going on. From there we stopped at Grandpa's house to see him before we went home for a nap.

Nap went well, and we left the house right afterward to go downtown Zeeland trick-or-treating with Grandma D and Aunt Kelli. All the businesses were handing out candy, and the bakery handed out donuts!!! Nicolynn walked almost the whole way. I bet she did at least 3.5 blocks, if not more. But she was a little trouper!!!
After that we stopped by to see Papa, and played with some toys until it was time to see Zach and Levi again. And then we trick-or-treated in their neighborhood.

By this time Nicolynn started to get the hang of this whole business. She would knock on the door and say "tee-tee" and every once in a while we would get a "ths" for "thanks" afterward. Part of the time she didn't want her shoes or socks or mittens on though. It was so cold and slightly rainy and she was becoming a little stinker. So we headed back home to pick up daddy, and we went out to eat with Uncle Tony and Aunt Lindsey (Who filled her bucket with candy that they didn't get to pass out) That was nice of them since I will be the one to eat it. :)
