This year's Halloween was super fun for Kaitlynn, because she was able to join our large group of neighborhood kids for all the usual Halloween activities. Her friend next door, Allison, held a fun outdoor birthday party where the kids enjoyed snacks, games, and pumpkin carving.
Then on Halloween evening, Kaitlynn was ready to join the neighborhood gang again for a full night of fun with food and trick-or-treating. We went to a neighbor's home for a quick dinner, and then it was time to get ready for the main event. For the 3rd (or 4th?) year in a row, Kaitlynn donned a zebra costume that she pulled from the back of her closet. This girl and her love of zebras is something else! She joined several of her neighborhood friends and had the best night with street after street of trick-or-treating. As I handed out candy to visiting kids, I couldn't help but notice how different things were this year. There were definitely fewer trick-or-treaters than we expected, and several of us handing out candy had the kids grab their own out of the bowl to avoid unnecessary contact. It made me a bit sad, but it sure didn't dampen Kaitlynn's spirit. She never skipped a beat and had the best night!
