Halloween night while Dan went with our youth group to the haunted maize Shaleigh, mom, and I hit the town for the last time. Shaleigh hit both churches up for their trunk and treat.

Our church loved seeing Shaleigh walk up in her outfit and go from person to person and she even found a crow to visit with.

We are so blessed that our churches are so active with the youth of our community and they always help out during the Halloween holiday. We had so much fun going from place to place and visiting while Shaleigh got even more candy.

After we got home we decided to leave the light on so that a few of Shaleigh's friends could come by for candy and to say HI. Shaleigh was so funny to watch as she sat in front of the door waiting for them all to show up. She would jump up come running to me and asking when they would come. I told her to be patient and they would. As soon as she saw the cars start pulling up she would run over to me and tell me they were there. I just thought she was so adorable sitting by the door. I believe that she had more fun handing out candy than going to the trunk and treats. Also we ran out of candy and she ran over to her bucket and started pulling candy out of them to give out.

The Friday of Halloween is always a busy night for us. We try to start out early and treat the elderly in our block and some ladies from church. They look forward to Shaleigh coming every year. I always wanted Shaleigh to know that it is better to give than receive. We also go out to the nursing home and visit Uncle J.L., Barnie and Doris.

Next we head to the square where the merchants have all come out to treat the kids of the town. We usually meet up with some friends somewhere along the line and this year Shaleigh wanted to go with her friends so we met up and walked the town together. They had so much fun doing this and enjoyed seeing each other in their costume.

Bowling anyone

Every year the Methodist puts on a Halloween Carnival for the community and Shaleigh loves to go. This year they had all new games and she enjoyed trying to master each one of them. We get to sit with other adults and watch the kids go from game to game and Shaleigh usually meets up with her friends and runs around with them.

We are blessed that so many of the churches do this stuff for our little ones and makes the holiday safe.

Playschool Halloween 2010

Shaleigh, Laynee, Kylie, and Trinity

Shaleigh's class

Well this is her playschool Halloween Party. They had songs and got to trick and treat every doorway down the hall. First they visited the witch and then the skeleton. They also got to visit the sweet grand-mom and dad. They each had so much fun going from door to door seeing who was behind them. This was the first time that Dan had been able to help out with a party and he enjoyed spending that time with Shaleigh.
