Halloween 2009

On October 21, 2009, we got together with a Mom's group that I will be joining with a great friend of mine, Holly. She hosted the Mom's Club Halloween party at her home and it was fabulous. She decorated so cute and had fun activities for all the little ones to enjoy. The wind gave us some trouble, but what do you expect when you live in a desert. It was fun to meet other moms and to run into an old, dear friend of mine from middle school, Heather J. What a small world. Maddie enjoyed watching the other kids, but she mostly played outside by herself. She still only considers "kids" to be her cousin, Kaiden. We are working on it. She is such an independent little one. We had a great day, great people, great Halloween themed food, great visits with old friends, and plenty of treats for Maddie. It made for an exhausting day and a long nap on the way home. All in all a great outing!

Halloween was a hard time for our family this year due to Grandpa's passing so close to the holiday. We all put on our smiles and went Trick or Treating at Town Square. Grandpa wouldn't have wanted us to miss it. The kids had a blast and the adults had a fun time seeing all the fun costumes.

Daddy wanted Madilyn to be a Penn State cheerleader last year and I told him he could have his pick on her second Halloween, so you can guess what she was this year! Ta-da...a Penn State cheerleader. She looked so adorable in the little outfit and it only cost $19.99 at Target.com. A great deal and SUPER cute! Daddy was soooo excited to see his little Maddie Doodle in the outift. The best part is that she can wear it each Saturday for all the Penn State games. Daddy needs his little cheerleader to cheer on the team for good luck. Last season, the only game they lost was the one game she didn't watch with him. He thinks he has a good luck charm, now!
