Well, Amelia's first trick-or-treating experience was a lot of fun. She seemed a bit confused about the whole thing at first, but I guess that's understandable. I mean, when else do you go around to strangers houses, at night, dressed in funny clothes, demanding treats? She seemed to enjoy herself, though, especially when she realized that what everyone was dropping into her basket was candy. Oh, and there were little dogs at the door at a few houses, so she got to scream "hi, puppy!" at them.

I've already gotten half of my Christmas shopping done, which is a real accomplishment for me since I'm bad about having to finish on Christmas Eve (there was even one year I had to frantically search for an open store on Christmas morning because I had forgotten someone!) The bad thing about this is that I bought a couple of gifts for Amelia, which she has already found and made me open. : )

So now I have to find something else for Santa to bring her. Maybe I should wait until Christmas Eve.
