"Twick oh tweat!" Emi called out. Amanda chuckled as Emi gave the homeowner her best angelic look, causing the woman to immediately fill her trick-or-treating bag with more candy than necessary. "Thank you," said Emi before taking Amanda's hand again. Angelo held tightly to his daddy's hand, looking at the woman with big eyes while she 'aaahw-ed' and filled his bucket with candy.
"Gosh we have enough sweets to open up a shop," Amanda commented as they headed to the next house. Already, Emi's candy bag was weighing her down. "We're going to have to hide most of it," Niels whispered, yet Amanda could see the amusement playing clearly in his eyes. She nudged him playfully and walked on. Moments later, she was the one carrying the bag while Emi skipped ahead happily, humming a tune from Frozen. "Is our little Elsa ready to go home?" Niels inquired. To their surprise, Emi nodded. Angelo was already in his daddy's arms, too tired to continue walking. Amanda admired the way her little boy hugged his daddy, cuddling against his chest. There was so much love in such a simple embrace. Emi joined in, her arms reaching up to wrap around his waist. Kobe, he was such a good father, Amanda thought. It was amazing how far they'd all come--from being a family of two to a family of four. They were raising a toddler and a young child. Time was certainly flying. "It's getting cold," Amanda mentioned. "Let's get home. Or maybe we can stop by Aunt Ceci and Uncle Rico's place and share some of our candy?" She looked at Emi, curious of her reactions. "Yay!" Emi replied. "Let's go!" She grabbed Amanda's hand and immediately started pulling her in the direction form which they came. Niels chuckled. "Wow, a kid who actually wants to share her Halloween candy," he mentioned. Amanda smiled proudly. "That's our Emi."
