Clara celebrated her first Halloween today, sadly with little fan fare. I can't say I am a huge fan of taking a baby trick or treating just for the sake of doing it. I know how annoyed I get when someone carries their baby that can't walk or talk to my door and asks for candy... we both know your kid who can barely eat cheerios is not going to consume the candy.
Even so, I put Clara in her costume and we visited our neighbors who basically just wanted us to come say hi. Mike went to the Lions game today and came home just in time for the trick or treaters. Growing up he seemed to really enjoy getting full sized candy bars so for whatever reason he feels it is important that he passes them out. We had about 350 kids this year and all were quite impressed with the candy spread.
Next year I look forward to stepping up the trick or treating and maybe taking Clara out and doing our whole street!
