Our first family Halloween, and the days leading up to it, yielded some fun and memorable moments. We took Nicky to a local pumpkin patch for the requisite photo shoot among the squash and hay. It was SO busy...there was SO much stuff to grab Nicky's attention that we didn't stay too long, but just long enough to get a few cute pictures.
We had put out a few Halloween decorations around the house, but had to be pretty selective of what to put out and where. Nicky grew attached to a little stuffed pumpkin that belonged with a stuffed teddy bear. He was constantly carrying the little pumpkin around in his mouth by the fabric strap... he looked pretty silly crawling and cruising around with the little pumpkin in his mouth!
On Halloween night, the we hung out with Tom's brother, Jerry, and his family while they went trick-or-treating. Before hitting the streets, we stopped by Grandma & Grandpa Johnson's for some family pictures.
Tom and I liked the idea of dressing up in costumes that made sense with Nicky's costume. The costume we bought for him I'm sure was meant to be a "dinosaur". But, being the fantasy-lovers that we are, we decided to call it a "dragon" costume instead!! So, with that... I found myself a princess costume and Tom wore his fancy Renaissance Faire attire.
The final product:
Momma became the "damsel in distress/princess"
Daddy became the "brave rescuer/Prince Charming"
Nicky became the "ferocious dragon" (aka Drago-saurus Rex)
