Kenadie's first Halloween

Wednesday was Kenadie's first Halloween. It's not a big deal to most, as Halloweens come and go and she's too little to really enjoy the wonder that is dressing up and begging people for candy. The wife agreed that I get to choose one costumer for our baby, the last I'll ever have a say in, so Princess Leia it was.

When I got home that afternoon Kelly had the photography studio set up and was clicking pictures of the little one. Below are a couple:

She actually seemed to enjoy the costume, at least for a while. We arrived at my brother in-law's and met with friends and family to hand out candy to the multitudes of kids who came from far and wide to collect candy in his neighborhood. It was a warm evening so we sat in camping chairs as kids climbed up the stairs and showed off their costumes.

Some kids were a lot of fun, as they hammed it up in their attire. One kid gave us a his best Spider-Man pose, and other declared their awesomeness while dressed as the Avengers.

Overall, it was a fun night, but we couldn't stay long as having little ones don't allot staying up late. So we packed up the car and went home and put her to bed.

I'm looking forward to finally taking her by the hand and walking her from house to house. Maybe I'll implement a Halloween tax, like my dad did, and take ten percent of her candy. Then again, I don't need to eat candy
