We spent this evening getting ready for all of tomorrow's festivities. Ellie will have a costume parade at school in the morning, which Lori and I will be able to watch. In the afternoon, each class will have a little party. Holiday celebrations are always hard for the food allergy kids (and parents) - Ellie can't eat anything with chocolate (dairy) and is too young to eat really sticky, chewy, or hard candies. In hope of making this easier, we are providing lots of snacks for Ellie's class so that she can enjoy what everyone else is having. Tonight Ellie helped us decorate her special sugar cookies that Mimi and I made over the weekend for her class (and she even got to have one before dinner!).

I'm sure that Ellie doesn't totally understand what we're going to be doing tomorrow, but she has worn her costume and seems excited about wearing it to school tomorrow. She'll also just be happy to be out late with her friends tomorrow night. As for me, I haven't been this excited about Halloween in 20 years!

There is a egg substitute that you can add to recipes. It's a dry product that does the job of whatever it is the egg does in baking! Doesn't work so well as a "scrambled egg" substitute!
Holloween is fun when you have a kid because you can dress them up in cute costumes and parade them around! ........Hey, and who doesn't like free candy?
:-)
Wow, great pics. Have a great holiday.
I hope she has as much fun as you did at her age. You were so excited that year that you threw up before you went out. You had a super great time anyway.
Have lots of fun and take lots of pictures!
