Last year we put Esther in a costume for Halloween, but didn't do any trick-or-treating. This year, we were invited to a Halloween party at a little friend's house. So we enjoyed party festivities and a yummy dinner from 4-6, and then went trick-or-treating around the block as a group afterwards. I think Esther's first Halloween was a mostly positive experience. She liked dressing up (although when she woke up from her nap right before the party she announced that she wanted to be a cat, and kept trying to take her dancer dress off). She loved getting candy in her pumpkin basket. She was intrigued by (though a little wary of) the person in a gorilla costume at one house. (She said, "Hug diwwa?" I told her that would be fine, but then she reconsidered and said, "Mommy hug diwwa!" I didn't.) But she was rather unnerved by a child in a "Scream" mask, and talked anxiously about masks most of the way home.
Anyway, we have zillions of pictures, but here are a few that give an idea of our evening.

Yum, chocolate coins!
