(yes, she did)We chose the FP Gal's parent's neighborhood, in part so we could take her over there in costume. I'm sure the whole experience is just surreal for her. We walk up to strange houses, ring their doorbells and then they fawn over her cuteness and give her candy. I'm curious what she'll ask to go back to those houses and see if it works again.
We don't give her a lot of candy so this was a special treat for her. We'll try to ration the haul to keep her from getting sick. And . . . we just might thin the bounty ourselves. These are the lengths we're willing to go to for our daughter.

Please hurry up and post of picture of Aurelia. I'm glad she got to go trick or treating.
Yeah! Pictures! Pictures! And naughty daddy, stealing candy from a baby. I'm totally telling her when she gets older.
Very cute! Is this the first year you took her out for Halloween?
My dad took her to two of the neighbors last year, just to show her off. No candy on that excursion.
Kate, we will simply refer to it as the 'daddy tax'. This is the fee for taking her out for candy.
As an uncle of a small child myself, am I allowed to go "Awwww"? I forget.
Also, I told my niece that I was educating her in the ways of Hamilton's Protective Tariff when she came over with her haul, and she told me in her forthright, seven-year-old manner that it seemed like an excuse for me to eat all her peanut butter cups.
Andrew, feel free to awwww all that you want. And the tariff idea is a great one.
