For Ethan's first Halloween, the flu seemed to be visiting the masses. So when we went to our ward "Fall Festival" and everyone thought that Emma had picked up some ailment due to our african safari tour, we didn't correct them. (We were on safari and Ethan was a lion...). Needless to say, Emma was feelling horrible, but refused to miss our son's first Halloween party, so we went anyway.
Then on Halloween night we were about to go Trick or Treating for Ethan's first time, and Jake got sick. So we ended up staying at home and watching the Charlie Brown Halloween Special and carving our pumpkins. We even got some trick or treaters! We don't think Ethan minded too much because we gave him his first taste of candy from a butterscotch flavored lollipop. He kept staring at us with pleading eyes to give him more, and I must admit, we gave in a couple of times. We even tried some new flavors. He just looked so cute and full of such joyous childhood wonder! And so, the love of sugar begins!
