Happy Hannah-ween, everyone! Hannah’s nearly two years old, and that means that she can participate in the beloved tradition of holding up a bucket and asking strangers for candy. On Sunday, Vivian and I went by Shadowlake Mall so Hannah could toddle around the stores with several hundred other kids and get some candy from the participating shops.

Then on Thursday evening, Vivian and I took turns walking Hannah around the neighborhood to say hello to our neighbors and get even more candy. It was a nice lesson in patience as Hannah wanted to drop her bucket and suck on lollipops instead of walking from house-to-house to get more. We’ve gone from gorgeous, sunny fall days to rainy and gloomy spring-like weather during this week, so I’m fairly glad our trick-or-treat nights were timed just perfectly this time around.

Happy Halloween! On to Thanksgiving.
