Simply Pearcy: November 2010

This year we celebrated Leona's first halloween. For her first costume ever, she went as a pink kitty cat, and I must say she looked absolutely adorable. Since Leona is still too little to walk and eat bunches of candy we decided to forego the door-to-door trick or treating. Because, let's face it, I was going to be stuck with a pumkin full of candy that I certainly did not need or want. Instead we set out chairs in the driveway and we passed out candy to all the trick or treaters as a family. I think the parents got a kick out of seeing our little one participating in the festivities. Here's a shot of Leona just before trick or treating began.

Not to worry though, we still took her over to MeMe and PaPa's for some official "ring the doorbell trick or treating." Ironically, we showed up just as the candy ran out and they turned their porch light off. We got Leona in position and I rang the doorbell......no answer....hmmm?...I rang the door bell again.....still not answer. This time I repeatedly rang the doorbell until they answered and got a special treat...a stray pink kitty sitting on their doorstep! My nephew came over shortly after we arrived and we spent the rest of the evening with the family. All in all, it was a great Halloween and despite the fact that Leona will probably never remember it, I know Joe and I will always have fond memories of our pink kitty cat.
