Around 9:30, Daddy, Uncle Thomas, Cupcakes and Anni went to LauraDonna and Dan's for the after-trick-or-treating party. Auntie Lisa, Adam and Mama joined the party around ten. We didn't leave until around midnight. We had quite a Halloween celebration!

Bzzz. . .Cups' 2nd Halloween

What's going on?





Gorgeous witch and sweet Snow White. . .



The bee's got some Tootsie Roll!









I get to load up the bag myself?!



Pumpkin, Daddy! Cups takes a minute to admire squash of the festival.



We've got to keep going to catch up. We'll have to bypass a couple houses.



Wow!! Lots of candy!







We are a little caught up. The gang is in front of us!



Uncle Thomas and Annka. . .





Smoke. . .!



Annka didn't appreciate the scary effects much.





Puppy!







A bat!







Cups got a glow stick!



The stinger. . .





See, I brought my own candy.







The loot. . .



Mama put the candy away, and Cups never looked for it again.



Bubbles!! Favorite!!

Daddy and Mama took half a day off work on Halloween so that we could start the celebration early. However, Daddy picked up a napping Cups from daycare. Cups napped. We got to Daddy's work around 4:30 and left around 6:00. We missed dinner and got to Issaquah Highlands, just as the Kim family stepped out to go trick-or-treating. Cups walked most of the time. At the beginning she didn't understand exactly what was going on, so she'd stand there long after she got her candy. Some people would hand her more candy as she stood there.

We went back to the Kim house around 9:00 — relaxing for Mama and more playing for the kids. Auntie Lisa made very yummy tiny cupcakes for us. We had snacks and drinks. Thank you, Uncle Thomas and Auntie Lisa!! Everyone likes this Halloween tradition of trick-or-treating and hanging out together at Issaquah Highlands.

Halloween at Daddy's work

Auntie Arlene, amongst several others that love Cups, asked Daddy to be sure to bring Cups in to work on Halloween.





Bee and her squinty eyes. . .



Daddy told Auntie Arlene that Cups shouldn't have too much candy and has enough stuffed animals, so she brought a toy that turns and lights up when Cups pushes on the button. Thank you very much, Auntie Arlene!

Cups learned to slide on her own!





















Whether Cups gets enough sleep is debatable, but we have certainly get enough Cups time! Daddy helped Cups come down the slide at least 20 times, and she eventually learned to come down the slide on her own. Good job, Cups, and thank you, Daddy!
