It's for the kids...

Trick or treat...smell my feet...give me something good to eat...how does that go? As we mature (read: get older), we let go of some of our fondest childhood traditions. Well, Halloween is one of those tradition that I have fond memories of and after talking to my friends that night, I am glad we get to relive some of that tradition through our kids. Why else would we dress up our babies in ridiculously cute outfits and drag them from door to door, loading their bags up with candies they are not even suppose to eat quite yet? The answer is, it's one part...for the kids, and two part...for the adults to relive some of those childhood memories and create new ones as a family.

Last night was so much fun. It was not planned, but some of the fun-nest nights are ones that start that way. The BTF family met over at Keo/Kat, Andy and Holly's place where Hung and Lynn brought Kaden to go Trick or Treating. With a group of 12 people, we set out to relive those childhood memories through our kids. Here are some pictures from that night.

Terrence's costume which his mom lovingly made. She made the wader that fisherman wear and a fishing vest.216058552


Everytime Terrence tries on the costume, he gets so happy. Here he is with the wader...and then the whole ensemble.216058557216058564

Some of the people handling out candies were so friendly. Like this gentlemen. The story behind this photo is that the man was showing Kaden a little pumpkin with a candle inside it. Kaden thought the gentleman was offering the treat so he reached in a grab the unlit candle. Look at the reaction from both moms.216058496


Earlier in the day, Julie took Terrence out to our local shopping center where the stores were giving out treats in celebration of Halloween. She got so many complements on how cute Terrence looked in his fisherman's outfit. This lady is enjoying it just as much as the others. So cute.216058497


Kaden with his aunt Holly. Kaden has been trained well by his aunt. He sometimes goes back for seconds. :)216058508216058526


After the fun, Terrence gets to be the center of attention.216058537216058545


Here's a few shots of Terrence getting familiar with his fishing gear. :)216058572216058597


What does a BTF member do when he does not succeed in catching fish????216058618

Looks like we have our youngest BTF member. You know he is definitely going to love fishing since he already gets happy wearing his fishing costume. Such a cutie. The outfit looks very nice, great job Julie.

No worries... plenty of candy to go around. Terrence says he would love to share his two bags of candy. He'll bring them up when he sees all his super nice aunties and uncles. He's a fisherman in training. He's learning from the best: BTF members.
