Halloween

Our second Halloween! Now that Canaan's been around for longer than a year, we are starting to have 'repeat' events and holidays. I suppose these 'repeat' events will soon become normal as we celebrate Christmas with Canaan for the 2nd, then 5th, then 15 th time with him (Lord willing). But, for now it is special.
Our first repeat holiday is Halloween. We spent it cuddled up warm in the hospital, with our day old son. It is a wonderful memory. We loved being in the hospital because everyone came to visit us and we got to proudly show off our son. Everyone took care of you, and didn't expect anything from you! What a precious time we had as a new family, spending with our extended family and friends! In preparation for last Halloween, we tried desperately to find our one day old son a costume, to no avail. The newborn costumes they make are huge on a true newborn, and most are sold out a month before Halloween.
This Halloween, we were able to participate in Sunset's annual 'Trunk R Treat." Members dress up and decorate their trunks and pass out candy to the neighborhood kids and church kids. They sell hot dogs, hot chocolate, popcorn and cotton candy all for the small price of 25 cents. I was sad because it got dark fast and we couldn't see everything so easily, but it was a lot of fun. Canaan mainly wanted to walk around and strut his stuff. He knows when he looks cute. So while his parents held his place in line, Gran-Nan and Canaan walked around the parking lot and let others oohh and ahhh over how cute he was. Canaan really enjoying this. He was even so good as to carry around his candy bucket with him. When we arrived at a trunk, Canaan would be ushered over and a friendly face would drop candy (for Mommy and Daddy) in his bucket. He didn't really get the whole line idea and getting candy in your bucket thing. It took until the end of the line before he really caught onto the idea. He was just too busy strutting his stuff to be bothered with staying in line. That is why I really don't have a picture that is not blurry or him! He wouldn't stand still for a picture! So, I included the blurry ones for you to see and enjoy! As much as Canaan enjoys being cute, his parents love showing off his cuteness!
PS. If you couldn't tell, Canaan was a DRAGON for Halloween.
