This is Halloween

Halloween is fun again! This past weekend proved to me that holidays really are more fun with kids. I had such a great Halloween. The real anticipation began about three weeks ago when I made Grant's costume. I was feeling in the spirit enough that I decided to plan a Halloween dinner party. About a week before the big day I had nothing festive left to do to show my enthusiasm so, I made Grant his own baby-sized trick-or-treat bag. I honestly haven't looked forward to Halloween this much in a LONG time. You might even say I was a little OVER-zealous, considering that we also planned to move apartments that same weekend. ugh. Well, with me there is a very fine line between fun and stress. I like to take it to the limits. Good thing there is enough time in between holidays for me to forget the stress part, so I can plan more crazy fun (poor Jared I don't think ever forgets, but he supports me anyway).

Anyway, here are a few pictures commemorating my baby dalmation's first Halloween.

Jared was Pinnochio for his work party--his department's theme was Shrek. I made him take off his nose so he wouldn't scare Grant. He still looked kinda scary, though.

Grant's eyes crossing due to his mother driving him crazy with all this Halloween exuberance.

Grant got to meet his Aunt Rachel, Uncle Paul, and sweet cousins this weekend. Him and baby Brooklyn were so cute in their costumes.

I LOVE this picture of Grant with all his cousins. Jared and I had the best Halloween. Special thanks to Grant for providing us with renewed enthusiasm, cute pics, and a little bag full of trick-or-treat candy.
