Happy Halloween!

So, to be completely honest, our halloween was kind of lame. Let me explain. Isaac is about 13 months, he doesn't eat candy, can't even say "trick or treat", but he did have a pretty sweet costume (thanks Nana!). SO...needless to say...we "enjoyed" our last year of not making Halloween a big deal. OH, and Taylor has a 2-hour class on Friday night, so that added to the lame-ness.

Work for both Taylor and I was pretty slow for the day, so in that sense it was a low-key day. But, Taylor's office had their annual halloween party that they open to the public. So, just like we went last year, we went this year. Here's a comparison picture...this was Isaac last year at the party....

And this year....

He has gotten so big!!! Another reason why we didn't make Halloween a big deal...I feel bad for asking for candy when you know it's not for Isaac, and we all know that I don't really care for a lot of it either, so it was really all about showing Isaac's cute costume off. He got comments from everyone--even strangers in the parking lot--about how cute he was! The lion head was heavy and big, so sometimes he had a hard time seeing! haha...

Look at that head! So, while I will use every excuse in the book for why Halloween was not a big deal this year, I will tell you--next year--I will be Halloweened out! I plan to make every holiday a big deal once our children are at an age to appreciate it and understand what is going on. Parties, parties and parties!
So, that's all folks!
