Monday afternoon, we took the kids over to the Microsoft buildings to do some trick-or treating. Ella had no idea what she was in for, but she was excited.

We don’t have pictures from it, because you aren’t allowed to take pictures in the building we were in. The do all the game development and testing in that building, so the kids loved seeing life size action figures displayed for the different games. Ella was nervous at first, but as soon as she realized she got candy, we couldn’t stop her. She would take from a bowl, and go for seconds. I would have to tell her, “No, Ella. Just one.” As soon as she thought you weren’t looking, she would grab another piece. Sneaky girl. I brought an extra bag to empty their baskets (we learned from last year), but Ella would not give her’s up. She was not about to let that candy out of her sight. I think she came home with more candy than Jameson. We looked pretty funny, though. We had 8-10 adults in our group and 13 kids under 5 with us. Little crazy.

Once we got home, we fed the kids actual dinner, and then took them around the neighborhood. Here is their first actual door they got to knock on.

We ventured around in the freezing cold, going to most of the neighbors we knew, and then a few others down another street. We finally turned around when we were too cold to go anymore. The kids loved it, and got ridiculous amounts of candy. I actually hid most of it, and recently put most of it in boxes to send to the missionaries serving from our ward. Great way to get rid of candy.
