Traditions
Mom (Nana Sally to Maddie...) taught me lots of things, but most of all the importance of traditions...Heart shaped pancakes on valentine's day, 100 friend to celebrate the 4th of July, and special surprises behind closed doors christmas morning. For kids its good to know what to expect, and I think we have our first Bailey Tradition in Halloween. For the second year we had pizza with the Alts, and then headed to Avila Street for trick or treating. Maybe its the age, maybe we are smarter about bringing wine in roadies, but this year it was a blast. Maddie loved getting candy from all the people, she even trick or treated our local police car...after every house she said, let go to the next house...she kept wanting more...and it wasn't just the candy talking.

After the treats, as we were walking home we stopped in A16. Last year Shelly loved Maddie's fish costume, so we stopped in to show her the giraffe, and a few minutes later we were eating more pizza, drinking good wine, and ending a perfect night at our favorite restaurant...
