Here Come Santa Claus...

Last weekend Maddy got all dressed up to welcome Santa Claus to Mount Nittany Mall! She loved seeing Santa along with some ballerinas, little girl angels, a fun magician and -- her personal favorite -- the nutcracker mouse king!

Here are some pics of her all dolled up just for Santa...

Sweet Trick or Treat!

This year was Maddy's FIRST year of real trick or treating! She got to go around the neighborhood with her Daddy and her friends Hunter (Elmo) and Amani (Cookie). Maddy picked up trick or treat pretty quickly. She politely took just one candy from each person -- though, it took her a while to understand she didn't exactly have an open invitation to run into everyone's house!

Mommy also got to take Maddy on a special "Trunk or Treat" at a local church. Our across-the-street neighbors (and Maddy admirers) invited us over. It was a blast going from trunk to trunk for goodies. And, a great way to practice for Halloween!
