Twas the week of Halloween

Happy Halloween!  Boy, did we have an exciting week!  We had a great time getting ready for the Halloween celebration and when the day finally arrived, we were ready! We started our prep on Sunday by carving our pumpkin (see below).  I picked out the design, Chris was the expert carver and Riley supervised the operation - but not before posing with the pumpkins a little! 


Then, when Halloween finally arrived, we had so many themed outfits that we had to get in all in one day!  We got a onesie from an AJ client that fit Riley perfectly and Halloween bibs from Grammy and Grandy that Riley made sure to use for their intended purpose!






















We got all ready for trick-or-treating and donned the costume!  How did Riley decide that he wanted to be a giraffe, you may ask?  Well, it was the only costume that came in his size.  But I think it looks pretty darn cute!


After our family photo session, we rounded up the troops and started our trick-or-treating.  Patricia, James and Simon joined us and we went around the neighborhood for about an hour.  We decided we had the best decorated house and the most adorable baby, by far!  Everyone loved opening their doors to see the cute baby and Riley got more candy than he knows what to do with.  He has been encouraging me to eat more and more candy so he can have some chocolate milk tonight.


I have to say, we had a very successful first Halloween!

We loved the little story and read it with great anticipation. What did the doggies dress as? We can't wait to see what Riley dresses as next year!
