Bumblebees go Bzzz...

in Richmond this year. Yes, we decided since Halloween fell on a Saturday this year that we would take a trip down to Richmond so she could Trick-Or-Treat with her Cousin Bella. She LOVED it! This was the first time she had ever gone actual Trick-Or-Treating door-to-door. Well, granted, this was only her second Halloween since being born, but last year we stayed in Leesburg for the Halloween Parade. Each year the town of Leesburg does a Halloween parade for all the kids. The floats go by (mainly political related floats, since it is that time of year), throwing candy to all the kids. Our little pumpkin had a great time last year but I will have to say that this year our Bumblebee was buzzing all around!!

First it was off to take pictures of all the kids dressed up in the neighborhood...they were all so cute! Then it was down the street for the Halloween parade, as the kids marched up and back the street in their costumes! And the last stop was a pizza party in the cul-de-sac.

Caroline as you will see in these pics below was mesmerized by all the kids and costumes (even a doggie was dressed up!) She loved Trick-Or-Treating with her Daddy & of course with her Cousin Bella and friends. Our Little Bumblebee couldn't stop buzzing from door to door to collect her treats. It was so cute to hear her say..."Trick-Or-Treat" and to say "Thank You" as each house gave her a treat in her Bumblebee bag. We practice these sayings for a few weeks before the BIG EVENT...and she continued saying this for a week or two thinking these words were magic for getting candy...only to find out that these words only REALLY work once a year! ;~)

So, check out the pics below and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Love,
Caroline's Mommy

Caroline...aka...The Bumble Bee with her Cousin Bella.

The Family


Our little Bumblebee was trying to figure out why all these other kids were dressed up!

Hmm...they have costumes on just like me...

Our Little Bumblee taking a break. At least Mommy was able to get a good pic of the back of the costume! ;~)

WOW...all the kids in our Cousin Bella's neighborhood.

Posing for the camera with Cousin Bella and her two friends...they all LOVE Caroline!

Look at me...I'm with the big girls!

Even doggies were dressed in costumes...this was one of Caroline's favorite things of the day!

Taking a break with the big girls for some pizza & juice...mmm.

Look at her...center of attention...she LOVES it!
