Christian really gets excited about holidays, parties, and festivities. Because stores begin to "decorate" so early, it made the anticipation for Halloween even more exciting for him. He loved visiting Michael's and Walmart (I know...we don't have a nearby Target, Walmart is it) to see the "Boos." Originally Christian told me he wanted to be a pumpkin for Halloween, so I searched online and found a good deal on eBay. Of course, Christian wanted to be something different everyday, a snowman one day, a shark the next. But when I brought out his costume last night he was thrilled and to my surprise wore the pumpkin hat the entire night! Lucas was easygoing as usual, and was super cute in his little giraffe costume. It was a wee bit small, but he didn't seem to mind and was probably glad to stay warm since the evening was chilly. In the morning Christian had a party at school, which as it turns out was apparently the highlight of the day. In the evening we attended the huge event at Alice Drive Baptist Church here in Sumter. They had dinner (hot dogs, etc.) a crazy LONG line of tables and cars for "trunk-or-treating," bouncy houses, pony rides, games, etc. Christian enjoyed watching the people, but I think he was overwhelmed because he didn't want to participate. We came home in time for Christian to experience his first trick-or-treating in the neighborhood, where he received a small little stash of candy that he keeps sneaking today.
