The Lewis Family

Hello

2011-01-09T04:26:00.002-08:00

I know I used to post all the time, but I just can't seem to find the time or thing to post about. I like to post with pics but my camera has been acting up lately so this post will include zero pictures, sorry.

Here's a quick update: Last semester went well. I made two As and one B. Hopefully this semester goes just as well. I'll be taking three classes (ICD-CM coding, Speech, and Math). YAY! Not really; I am so ready to be done with school. I've been job searching with no luck...yet. I still have faith that the perfect job for me at this time in my life will be coming soon. Oh, and I've started working out again. I'm really excited to start posting to my Run, Run, Run blog. (If you don't have the address just comment to this post to let me know.) I've been having a great time with Arianna. She's so amazing, and I've been enjoying spending time with my family and friends here in Joelton/Nashville, TN.

Here's a quick update on Arianna: She is learning her ABCs. I'll ask her what a letter is and she'll say it; she's also learning how to write letters A and B. She knows how to count to 20 with help, and can pick out several numbers when asked what they are. She is slowly learning her colors. She's really stuck on green. I'll point to something yellow, red, or pink and say, "What color is this?" Her reply, "Green!" We're working on it though. LOL! She loves her baby dolls, her kitchen, her mini four wheeler (more like a power wheel, not an actual four wheeler). She likes her sit and spin, even though she doesn't quite know how to work it yet. She loves to paint and color. She can put her clothes on by herself and with some help she can put her shoes on the right feet. She is potty trained with a few accidents here and there. And she loves to talk, and eat, and run around screaming and laughing, and she loves to watch movies. She's my baby girl and always will be, even though I know one day she'll say, "I'm not a baby anymore mom!"

What We've Been Up To

2010-10-12T05:09:00.003-07:00

We have been enjoying visits from Granny & PawPaw (Arianna's great-grandparents). They live about an hour away in Dickson, but come to Nashville often to go to the doctor. They usually will stop by the house to visit us for a while. On this particular visit Granny & PawPaw brought Arianna a sucker that my great uncle got for her in Rome.

Arianna has been able to get into the fridge for a while, but not the freezer. Well, on this particular day I was in our room putting clothes away when all of a sudden I hear the door slam. Then I hear the pitter-patter of feet across the kitchen. Arianna opens the silverware drawer, rummages around for a spoon (but pulls out a fork), and SLAMS it shut. This is what I found...

Every year the church up the road has an annual picnic for the community to raise money and we always go to enjoy family and friends and food. Here is Arianna running around playing catch-me-mommy-if-you-can.

Another picnic picture...

And we have been able to enjoy going to Titans football games with Grandma (my mom) and Aunt Pat (my mom's sister). Here Arianna is pointing and yelling, "LOOK!" She also likes to yell "GO TITANS," "TOUCH DOWN," "HOORAY," and then there is the occasional SCREAM. Oh, she also loves T-Rac.

We've also been hanging out around the house reading and playing and learning. Arianna is learning her ABCs, numbers, shapes, and colors. She can pick out the letters A, B, C, D, H, I, M, O, P, R, S, and T. She can't pick out numbers just yet but she can count to ten. For shapes she knows what a circle, moon, and star is. For colors, she says that everything is green. I correct her but she still says it's green. Oh, and when I'm doing laundry she will pick up a piece of clothing and say who it belongs to (mommy's, grandma's, grandpa's, ours if it's a towel). She can also put her shoes on by herself. Sometimes she puts them on the right feet and others she puts them on the wrong, but we're working on it. She also helps feed the dogs in the evening time. We have a bag of dog treats that she will grab when she knows that we are going out to feed the dogs. She'll say, "Open, please," so she can give some to Bruce, Patches, and Missy. All I can say is, "She's growing up fast!"

Hi Blog Family

2010-09-04T04:56:00.006-07:00

Hi Blog Family! Yes I am still alive, just in my own world right now. School has got me hitting the books every single day since it has started. This doesn't include writing papers, or doing other exercises for all of my classes, along with quizzes and tests. Sometimes I'm so tired that all I want to do is sleep, but when I go to sleep I wake up early knowing that I have a long day ahead of me. Whew! is all I can say.

I think next semester I will absolutely LOVE school though. I found out that our school teaches karate. "YAY!" I said to myself. I really, really, really, miss karate. I was so freakin' passionate about it so I am hoping I can tag that extra fun class onto my busy schedule. Ah to wear a uniform and belt again...

Getting away from school and talking about home:

I could make a list of everything that Arianna has been doing and saying but that would be way too long. She is almost potty trained, thank goodness. No more pull ups, except for at bedtime. She is talking a lot more now. Saying more things than ever before, putting words together. She's really tall, built like her daddy. I don't know if that's a good thing or not? Her hair is getting longer and curlier. Oh and did I mention she loves to climb?

Here she is using her potty as a step stool to get to some yummy banana bread.

And she loves to act like mommy and press all the keys on my computer. I'm just nervous she'll lock me out and I won't know how to get back in!

Visiting with Great Granny and PawPaw

She had been showing PawPaw how she likes to play the harmonica.

So that's pretty much it. School, school, school; Arianna, Arianna, Arianna.

The Highlight of My Every Day

2010-07-18T21:47:00.000-07:00

HALF WAY THROUGH THE YEAR ALREADY!?

2010-06-30T14:12:00.005-07:00

I can't believe it's already the halfway mark for the year. Time goes by way too quickly; staying busy helps I suppose.I haven't updated in two months, again time seems to slip by me.

I am doing great. I love summer time, all the cookouts, outdoor fun, swimming, everything! I am ready to start my fall semester at school; one semester closer to being done.

Arianna is doing well too. She's getting so big. I call her my big girl now. She's trying to talk, and go to the "big girl" potty; she can even count, well kind of. She says, "One, two, three..." usually leaves out four and five, unless I am counting with her, and then 6, 7, 8, 9, 10! I love her to pieces!

Rise and Shine

2010-04-07T20:53:00.004-07:00

This morning we were getting ready to leave and I tell Arianna, "Turn around and show mommy your new outfit." This was her pose:

She's such a cutie pie. I just love her to pieces!

Eggs-n-Candy

2010-04-04T19:28:00.005-07:00

The Easter-bunny came to see Arianna last night but she was sleeping so he left her this cute little Easter-basket:

She loved her books the most:

Hunting...for eggs:

A REALLY GREAT BIG POSTING...

2010-04-03T13:21:00.018-07:00

So I am finally able to post some pictures. I have a zillion of them for you to look at so I hope you enjoy looking at them. Some of them have caption underneath, some don't. The pics are from November-April so you'll get to see how much Arianna has changed in the past few months.

So I went back and looked at the caption under the pics alot of it is not where it should be so I'm leaving it up to you to figure out where it goes. I really don't feel like changing it around. :)

Arianna loved Thanksgiving. She ate all kinds of yummy food.

Enjoying her new toy...

IT"S YOUR BIRTHDAY!

YOU'RE TURNING ONE!

It took her a while to warm up to her piece of cake, but when she did she L-O-V-E-D it!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL (We video taped opening up gifts that's why you don't see any here.)

I love this picture of Arianna; look at those eyes.

Silly faces

Sweet Little Angel

Mischievous Little Angel?

Mommy's Baby Girl

Sleepy-head

Ready to go out and play.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY (For breakfast I made banana, strawberry, and blueberry pancakes.)

Loved 'em so much she at more than she should've.

Arianna didn't really know what to do. She just stood there looking around.

Playing with her cousin.

Babysitting, need I say more?

Helping me sweep.

Such a big girl.

On the 2nd the daycare where my mom works had their Easter egg hunt so I took Arianna.

She didn't quite understand what to do. I was trying to show her that you're supposed to put the eggs in the basket. She would just pick them up and throw them or the ones that were in her basket she'd put back on the ground. I had to hunt for her; she got about 8 eggs. Maybe next year she'll do better?

A Year Old...Already

2009-12-05T17:41:00.002-08:00

Our beautiful baby girl is now a year old. My oh my how time flys. Arianna hasn't changed much she's just: gotten taller, heavier!, happier, knows-how-to-throw-a-fit-better-er, she's a talker (if you consider jibber jabber talking), she's a walker (finally!), she's a kisser, and most of all she's a daddy's girl. I love our beautiful baby girl more than ever and I'm excited to see how she continues to grow and explore her surroundings.

Sorry no pics...

WHITE COAT CEREMONY

2009-09-16T19:17:00.009-07:00

On September 12th, Jonathan was officially coated to be a student doctor! I am so proud of him. He has worked so hard and has put in many hours of schooling to get to where he is now. Even though it seems like his goal of becoming a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine is far away, I know that graduation day will be here before we know it. We anxiously await for that extra special day!!

My mom, granny, and aunt came up to support/celebrate with us. My mom got Jonathan a watch for his special day.

Downtown Lewisburg, Ice Cream Social, and Pictures of Arianna

2009-09-16T19:03:00.017-07:00

DOWNTOWN LEWISBURG, WV
When my mom, granny, aunt, Arianna, and I went walking around downtown we ran into an unexpected car show. It was really neat to see all of the older model cars. Downtown is only 4 minuets from where we live.

ICE CREAM SOCIAL
Every year the White Sulfur Springs Ward throws a donation/ fund raising for the scouts. Everyone pitches in with yummy food. This time around I was the lucky one to be in charge. I wish I would have taken more pictures, but I just couldn't find the time. But there was tons of delicious food and sweets- which I ate a lot of!

PICTURES OF ARIANNA

Here are a few more pics to add to my previous posts...

2009-08-26T12:47:00.005-07:00

We went to the Lewisburg State Fair on Saturday. We had fun with several of our friends. We even tried a deep fried candy bar .
And thanks to our great friend Nativa for her wonderful pictures taken from her awesome camera!!! I can post more pictures of my activities here in Lewisburg.

Catching you up on what's been going on...

2009-08-25T18:44:00.010-07:00

I went with several other girls to go pick raspberries last week. We had a great time, but it would have been way better if it wasn't raining. I ended up with three green containers full of yummy raspberries as well as some squash and zucchini. Arianna did such a wonderful job. She sat in her stroller the entire time- I think she was just mesmerized by everything that was going on around her.

Nativa, Becky, and I have our fun day activities all planned out, and on one of those fun days we decided to back cupcakes. They were super yummy. We went to Nativa's to do the baking since she has more room in the kitchen; plus Arianna loves her dog.

I also went to the church to cut up peaches to get them ready for freezing. It was nice to learn something new and useful for a change.

And as promised I will post pictures of our apartment, as soon as it's picture worthy...till then I'll keep you posted on what's been going on.

The Greenbrier River Trail

2009-08-25T09:01:00.006-07:00

The Greenbrier River Trail consists of about 74 miles of a gravel trail. It's used for just about anything. There's also a camp along the way where you can camp and go swimming in the river. Becky, Nativa, and I went out there about a week or so ago. It's really nice and shady so you don't get too hot if the sun is out.

New Friends

2009-08-18T06:10:00.004-07:00

Before moving here to WV I was a bit worried about what I would be doing for fun, or who I would make friends with, as well as Jonathan. But upon our arrival we made instant friends!

The first year guys: Jonathan(my husband of course), Derek, Stewart, James, and Joe

And here are all of the first year's wives and little ones: That's me, Rachel, with Jonathan and our beautiful daughter, Arianna; Derek and Nativa (Arianna loves their dog, and Nativa too.); Stewart and Becky (Arianna also loves Becky); James, his wife will be here after she has their baby (we are excited to meet her!); and then last, Joe, Kathryn, and their new baby, Ozzy-who has a head full of hair!

All of these wonderful people have made our transition so much easier. Becky, Nativa, Kathryn, and I hang out during the week while our smart and hard working husbands are away at the school studying.

9 months old!!

2009-08-13T18:21:00.002-07:00

Arianna turned 9 months today. She is such a sweet heart, as long as she isn't tired, LOL! Recently she has started this "fake" cry. She sounds like she's crying, and continues to do so until she actually makes herself cry for real. In the process she makes a growling aahhh sound. It's way too funny. I try to address it but I just end up smiling and laughing!

Arianna's upper front teeth are coming in. They haven't broken through (another reason for her fussy-ness) yet, but I'm hoping they will soon. She's been chewing on everything, even biting-which does get addressed without a smile or laugh!

And we are going to have to invest in a gate soon before she ends up rolling down the stairs. She's still doing her army crawl, but can get around really fast! Every now and then she does what looks like a downward facing dog. I'm pretty sure she'll be standing within a couple of months, maybe even walking.

South Pointe Park

2009-08-03T05:47:00.004-07:00

Jonathan, Arianna, and I spent a day with our friends, the Recaldes, before we left Miami. Here are a couple of pics...enjoy!

Sleepy Heads

2009-08-03T05:29:00.008-07:00

I think this post speaks for itself.

Park Day

2009-08-03T05:09:00.005-07:00

Arianna's first time in a swing. She didn't know what to think.

I was trying to get a cute picture of Arianna sitting here, but she was way too interested in the bench.

Looking at the camera, but no smile...

2009-08-03T05:02:00.004-07:00

I love these pictures because of the faces Arianna is making in them! She is such a cutie pie.

Arianna and Her Friend Lauren

2009-08-01T14:48:00.010-07:00

Arianna and Lauren loved playing together. Lauren loved sitting on and crawling over Arianna, and Arianna loved grabbing toys away from Lauren. Now that we are in WV Arianna misses her friend.

6 month old pictures

2009-08-01T14:40:00.006-07:00

Jonathan and I had Arianna's pictures taken when she was 8 days old, then we had them taken when she was 6 months old, and when she turns 12 months old we are going to do a family photo shoot, which I'm really excited about! Below are the pictures when she was 6 months. Enjoy!

Update Time!!

2009-07-31T08:52:00.011-07:00

So, I'm always checking everyone's blog like everyday to see if anything new is happening, but there are usually no new posts. (Frown) So, I'm going to create a new post hoping that this will motivate others to do the same. So, find some time and post away people!

As you all know Jonathan and I are now in Lewisburg, WV, leaving behind our wonderful friends in beautiful Miami, FL.

We've went from packing(in Miami) for the big move, to unpacking and settling here in WV.

We have been doing great. Jonathan and I have made friends with our next door neighbors- Cliff and Autumn. Jonathan has been studying, playing video games with Cliff, grappling with Cliff, and spending time with Arianna and me. I hang out with Autumn when the guys are playing games- it's nice to get out of the apartment every once in a while. I've also been playing with Arianna and am always amazed at how fast she has grown! She's learned so much within the past couple of months. Arianna has been enjoying spending time with her mommy and daddy. She loves to Army crawl every where, getting into things she's not supposed to. She can go from being on her tummy to sitting up, she can wave Hi and Bye, and just this morning, while watching Your Baby Can read, she was clapping to "If you're happy and you know it!" (She only clapped like twice, but she clapped all by herself.)

Our Baby Girl

2009-06-04T07:16:00.009-07:00

Arianna is getting so big! She weighs about 21 or 22 lbs, is about 27 inches long, and is 6 1/2 months. (She'll be exactly 8 months when we move!)She can sit up all by herself, roll over (when she wants to), and even stand up by the couch when holding on!! She's SO SMART!

All About Arianna

2009-05-03T04:54:00.004-07:00

Arianna is doing well. She is growing like a weed! I tihnk she weighs about 17 or 18 lbs and is between 26-28 inches long. Oh, she's 5 months, one week, 3 days old. Her eyes are still blue, her hair is growing, finally!, and she seems to learn more and more each day (she laughs, coos, grabs her big 'ol feet, bounces when held, wiggles, is trying to turn over, looks like she's trying to talk, puts her fingers in her mouth and in mommy's and daddy's, screams when she's excited, drools everywhere, spits up everywhere, poops, pees, eats, sleeps, can kinda sit up but falls over, and is such a daddy's baby girl).

Nice and clean...

All smiles, even when she first wakes up!

A day at the beach...

2009-04-16T14:34:00.003-07:00

Arianna got to go to the beach for the very first time. Here are some pictures, enjoy...

2009-04-14T20:16:00.002-07:00

Time seems to go by so quickly these days! Life seems to stay busy, never slowing down. There is always something that needs to be done or somewhere to go.

Jonathan and I are wrapping up this semester- only two weeks left! Jonathan's online classes keep him sooo busy. It seems like he's on the computer all day long. And my classes, even though they are not super challenging they do keep me a bit more busy than I would like.

Arianna went swimming for the first time. She loved the water! I was worried that she'd get burnt, but she didn't. YAY! I don't know what I would have done if she did get sunburn. And it was nice to hang out with my girl-friends (Jamie, Nikki, Brittany, Kim, and Nichole).

Arianna is getting so big. I measured her today and she is 25 inches long! She can grab her feet now, and sit up for a few seconds all by herself! Her laugh is too cute, and her smile is adorable. Her daddy and mommy love her to pieces.

That's all for now...

More Pictures

2009-03-05T05:36:00.006-08:00

2009-02-25T10:04:00.011-08:00

So, Jonathan and I found a place in WV. It's calld Woodland Acre- or something like that. Two bed room for $650! Can you guys believe that. Compaired to what one pays here in Miami for a two bedroom that's next to nothing! And I'm thinking, "How much money are we going to save with a rent that low." It'll be like living back in Nasvhille, only it's WV. Hehe. I'd put pics on here but I don't have any. Sorry. The only delima we have with this place is fitting our couch in the living room. Our couch is 13ft. long, and the length of the living room is like 14ft. long. But, Jonathan got out the tape measure and a piece of paper, along with a ruler and did some sketching and measurements and figured out a way we can solve our long couch problem. YAY for us.

Get this, before we found Woodland Acre we were checking out some other places for rent. I was in the kitchen and Jonathan asks, "So, what about the place over the funeral home?" What? A funeral home? I'm thinking, "He must be pulling my leg." But no, he was serious, dead serious. LOL (dead serious, get it?) Anywho, there's a place to rent in WV for $450 a month, above a funeral home if anyone's interested. NOT the Lewis family!!!

I've been meaning to post some pictures of Arianna lately but haven't gotten the chance to do so, but I did do so today. Here they are:

She has figured out how to suck her thumb. It's cute, for right now.

How cute is this picture. Jonathan and I were getting ready to go on our morning walk. It was a bit chilly out and this is the only hat that we had that would fit Arianna.

Arianna is getting bigger and bigger every day. Right now she can scoot around, literally around. I'll put her on her tummy and she'll eventually scoot so much she turns herself. I usually find her turned in an oppostie direction than from how I had originally put her.

Kisses from Daddy.

Thanks Grandma for this awesome Valentines outfit. Happy Valentines Day!

2009-02-03T11:22:00.013-08:00

Wow, it's been a while since I've posted. Instead of posting individual posts I've decided to do one BIG one. So, here it is. Enjoy.

Arianna's first day home:

My mom's Christmas Trees. The mantel looks bare because my dad had just finished putting it up. And, oh, look at my dad's contribution in decorating: the stocking hanging on the brick. LOL!:

My mom bought Arianna this Titans Cheerleading Dress:

Arianna Elise Lewis has Arrived

2008-12-05T08:46:00.004-08:00

She was born at 7:09 am on December 4, 2008. Weighing in at a whooping 8lbs 6oz and 20 1/2 inches long. She has brown hair and her eye color is unknown. She enjoys long naps in her daddy's arms and kisses from her mommy. She has her daddy's nose and ears and her mommy's lips. We are the happiest parents in the world and the tiredest. The first night was filled with cries and more cries but we made it.

Below are pictures of our beautiful Arianna aka Daddy's girl. (We love you)

35 weeks & 4 days

2008-11-10T13:27:00.003-08:00

As of right now I am 35 weeks and 4 days pregnant. Jonathan and I are getting anxious for our baby girl to get here. Jonathan seems to be a bit more eager than I am, which sounds bad, but hey after all it is his first baby with the love of his life-me!

Below are some pictures of me when I was 33 weeks. I'll be posting recent pregnancy pics soon so be on the look out for them.

Halloween Party

2008-10-20T10:17:00.003-07:00

Jonathan and I had a Halloween Party on Saturday, and I think it had a great turnout! And for those who were unable to make it, we missed you!

Here's who came...

2008-10-10T18:29:00.003-07:00

Tonight for dinner Jonathan and I had Pot Roast with carrots and red potatoes AND my very first choco-chocolate cake with two layers! It was super yummy and tasted wonderful with a tall glass of milk.

Pictures from the Imaging Center

2008-10-09T09:33:00.002-07:00

Jonathan & I went to the imaging center again and got pictures of our baby. We wonder who she's going to look like? (I was 30 weeks pregnant.)

31 Weeks Pregnant & Counting

2008-10-09T06:10:00.003-07:00

2008-09-19T14:33:00.008-07:00

I've been wanting to get pictures taken of my belly for the sake of memories, but I figured my belly wasn't big enough to take worthy belly shots(professionaly). So, I took it upon myself to take "home-made" ones. Hope you enjoy.

I am 24 weeks in these-which I think adds up to be right at 6 months. I'm getting closer every week!

Baby Shower(s)

2008-08-15T07:28:00.000-07:00

So, Jonathan and I took another trip back home to Nashville. We wanted to see our family and friends before school starts back, and before we have the baby. Even though my parents house didn't seem as quiet as usual-with my cousin being there as well as my aunt-we had a great time.

While we were there, I enjoyed going to two baby showers just for me! My mom had one at her work for me-I previously worked here otherwise I probably would not have felt comfortable :} -and we had another one with family and friends. Both were amazingly awesome and the food was great!

I've created a slide show so you can see the pictures!

My Mom's Visit

2008-07-18T08:16:00.006-07:00

So, my mom came to visit us here in lovely Miami the week of the 4th of July. It was awsome having her here! We went to the pool, the beach, shopping! We would have went to Orlando, but she has a cast on her arm and I'm pregnant! Neither mix well with big roller coster rides that jerk your insides around.

Here a just a couple of pictures we took while she was here with us.

Getting ready to go to church.

My mom's first taste of Chipotle and their Banana Orange Pineapple Drink.

We went to Holloywood Beach for a couple of hours. Fun, fun, fun!

2008-07-04T13:22:00.003-07:00

WE'RE HAVING A BABY GIRL!!!

Wicked: The Play

2008-04-06T16:14:00.011-07:00

Jonathan and I, along with a few of our other friends, enjoyed seeing Wicked: The Play.

Waiting on the play to start, we used our time wisely and took pictures

If you donated $40 or more you got this cool poster that was signed by the actors/actresses.

Easter Dinner With Our Miami Family

2008-03-24T13:57:00.013-07:00

Obviously Jonathan and I didn't go home for Easter, however, we were invited over to our friends Josh & Lindsey's for Easter dinner. All of our friends-our Miami Family- were there. There was great food and great dessert. Yummy, yummy!!

Our friends Josh and Lindsey invited us to tag along for the great trip to Islands of Adventure and Universal studios. We had a ton-o-fun and would like to go back soon!

Mormon Tabernacle Choir

2008-01-05T19:10:00.003-08:00

Jonathan and I met up with Jonathan and Emily at the Conference Center to see the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. It was our first time seeing them. It was a beautiful experience...

MY COUSIN JENNIFER W/ HER HUBBY DEREK. THEY HAD TO LEAVE EARLY AND WASN'T ABLE TO GET IN THE FAM PIC. SO I WANTED TO PUT THIS ONE UP.

WHERE IT ALL STARTED. PAWPAW & GRANNY.

Aunts & Uncles, Moms & Dads

IN THIS PICTURE EVERYONE WAS TOLD TO SAY, "SEX!" BECAUSE THEY WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN THERE IF IT WASN'T FOR GRANNY AND PAW PAW. I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY ACTUALLY DID...IT WAS SO FUNNY! MY DAD IS THE TALL ONE IN THE BACK WITH THE CAMO SHIRT ON. AND MY MOM IS IN FRONT OF HIM W/ THE PINK SHIRT.

When Jonathan and I went back to Nasvhille, I had to stop by and visit my friend Amber. We worked together at St. Andrew's Child Care. She's such an awesome person and I missed her tons. (The little boy in the picture is Adain. He's gotten so big!)

Our trip to Orlando was awsome. Thanks to our friends Josh and Lindsey, who invited us to stay with them at a time share condo. We were able to visit the Temple and enjoy the Cirque Du Sloeil show at Downtown Disney. Jonathan and I want to go back so we can go to Universl Studios. Thanks Josh and Lindsey we had a blast.

HALLOWEEN FUN!

We had a Trunk or Treat at the Church on Halloween night. It was really fun. All the kids were dressed up and anxious to get tons of candy. There were several of us who had game stations set up. Mine and Jonathan's was the old spaghetti and grapes trick, which is supposed to feel icky. I thought the idea turned out okay. I wish I could have had more time to put into it, but I didn't. I was glad that I was able to get rid of most of the candy we had bought. I didn't want to have to eat it all myself! Can't wait till next year's Trunk or Treat. I'm sure it'll be just as great.
