Happy Halloween!

Nolan had a fun-filled 1st Halloween this week.  It all started on Friday night when we brought out the pumpkins that Nolan had picked from the pumpkin patch to carve.  Nolan was very interested in this tradition as he watched from his high chair but when it came to putting his hands in the pumpkin and feeling the "goo" he wasn't too sure about that.


 The finished products.
 "What are these things?!"

 Nolan received some Halloween mail throughout the week.
 Halloween morning.  Festively dressed and ready to go to school.
 Halloween dinner of peas and milk.
I had originally bought Nolan a tiger costume for Halloween.  However, when I went to try it on him it was a good 4 inches too long.  Luckily we have cousins around the corner.  So Aunt Heidi saved the day with a spare spider costume for Nolan.  He turned out to be the cutest spider I've ever seen :)

 We walked down our street to say "hi" to a few neighbors and then were back home.  Nolan loved watching all the big kids running from house to house.
 Trick-or-Treat!
 Back inside ready to pass out candy!

Eric and I moved into our house two years ago on Halloween.  We were drowning in a sea of boxes but took a break to eat pizza, drink wine, and pass out candy on the front porch.  Last year I was pregnant and we sat on our front porch bundled up passing out candy and thinking about how the next year we will have a baby of our own to celebrate with.  How quickly another Halloween has come and gone.  Out of our three Halloweens in our house this one has by far been the best!
