We love Halloween

and we speak for Naia when we say that =).

And really, i remember having fun on halloween as a kid. But being on the other side of the child/grown up side was, i think, even better. Maybe its because it was my first halloween as a mom or because Naia is nearing the one year mark (which i'm dreading a little in a bittersweet kind of way) and everything seems even more special and important and monumental these days. Or maybe i'm just generally a little emotional with the end of infancy. Either way, halloween was AWESOME.

Naia was SO excited and had so much fun, was pointing at everything and everyone, and letting out very enthusiastic "ooh ooh ooh"s. I think she got a kick out of knocking on doors, which opened to show such friendly NEW excited faces, handing her all sorts of things. I got a kick out of how neat the holiday really is and how wonderful little interactions with complete strangers can be. I had this great feeling of gratitude to all the candy givers, especially a couple that went all out and made haunted yards and houses.... anyway, here are a few pictures of our day.
