Halloween!

We had a great time on Halloween! We went to a Fall Festival at the Benbrook Park (there were TONS of people there), and then went trick-or-treating at a few houses in Daniel's parents' neighborhood. Emma was a duck, once again this year. She just wore her 12-month sized costume from last year. Except for showing a little bit of lower leg, you would never have guessed! Here's our sweet duckie at Halloween 2007:

And again, in 2008. It's hard to get her to really smile on command in pictures now-adays. When she says "cheese" she has this disfigured look on her face!
At the fall festival with Gandolf (her cousin Zac) and Spiderman (her cousin Zeb)

She enjoyed going Trick-or-treating, especially the treat part. Look mom, I got my first piece of candy!!!
At first, she was staying close to her cousins and either Daniel and I:
but it didn't take her long to get the hang of it! She would go up and knock on the door (we were very close, don't worry), and knew to say "Tweet" and hold out her Elmo basket! She always said, "Ank u" afterwards...she's one polite little duckie!
Enjoying her first spoils on the ride back to our car:Look at all of my candy!!!
Sharing a lollipop with Granddad: (and then she fell asleep with no problems on the way home!)
