Halloween Wrap Up

Happy-Day-After-Halloween to you all! A day when you regret the candy you devoured enjoyed yesterday. A day when you realize that you don’t want to be two one jean’s size bigger. A day you vow to go on a starvation diet. Until Thanksgiving.

This was our *first* Halloween with a little one of course and we had such a fun time!
Halloween started last Saturday night when we attended a birthday party for our friend’s little girl who turned one. Little ones were *encouraged* to dress up in their Halloween costumes and we were not going to miss out on that! So Parker dressed up in his… Lion costume! Roar!



We had such a good time and I loved giving Parker the opportunity to be around some other children his age. 






That night when we got home, we carved our *first family pumpkin*. We had a great time together showing Parker his pumpkin and letting him be a part of the process (as much as a 5.5 month old can)!

The next day was “trunk-or-treat” at our church. Now, this might be a *southern thang* because some of my northern friends had not heard of this before. So trunk or treat is when everyone brings candy and the little ones go from car to car - or trunk to trunk - collecting candy. It’s a fun time! Parker Bear, or Lion in this case, smiled at absolutely everyone who spoke to him and then *promptly* fell asleep on mommy’s shoulder! Honey and I had a great time visiting with friends and seeing all their little's dressed up!

Halloween Family (clearly I didn't dress up. Boo.)

Finally it was *Halloween* and we were so excited to take Baby Parker to a few neighbors’ houses to trick or treat!

After trick or treating we came home so that Parker could help give out candy to all the trick or treat-ers who came to our house!


Daddy built a fire

Was that the doorbell?

It was such a fun evening and we had a great time. Certainly the best Halloween yet!
