Brind and I were SO EXCITED for Violet's first Halloween... and really her first holiday (unless you count Labor Day...No? Me neither). We dreamed of toting her door to door with tiny bag in hand collecting candy, that of course Brind and I would eat later. And anticipated seeing all the cute kids from the neighborhood all dressed up.

But we gotta tell ya, it was sort of a let down. No kids came to our door. And Violet couldn't care less what day it was. She hated the hood on her bee-suit, Brind just refused to dress up (I did manage to get him to wear it for awhile at a friend's party last week... thanks to Adam for the authentic beekeeping garb), and I got NO CANDY! We went to our ward's trunk-or-treat and mingled with friends and came home after an hour. Eh. Our favorite part of the night was that the girl fell asleep early and Brind and I were able to watch "The Others" undisturbed. We think next year will be better.
