Trick or Treat 2009

Trick or Treating this year was SO much fun! I think Eli was starting to figure out what was going on, and that's what made it so fun. We prepped him at home and told him that he has to say, "Trick or Treat" each time he went to someone for candy, and then he had to say "Thank You." We wouldn't leave until he said thank you (which is more to say for most of the kids out there - anyway, I digress). He did so well saying it and everyone thought he was just the cutest little lion out there (of course I had to agree)! We were out for about an hour and a half, and then could tell that Eli was getting sluggish (he walked the whole time) and it was getting pretty dark out, so we headed home (with Eli on Daddy's shoulders of course). What a fun time, and Eli made out great with all the candy!!
