Matt and I were all sorts of excited to debut Jake and his Halloween costume at our church's Trunk-or-Treat party last week. The trunk decorations were completed, the candy was in the car, and we were all dressed up and ready to leave... and then someone decided he was hungry. We arrived just 15 minutes late to the trunk-or-treating portion, only to find a nearly-empty parking lot. Bummer, right? Our ward is apparently the only one in the world that not only begins on time but actually starts things early. (The audacity, I know!) Of course, this meant that we'd have to take the real holiday seriously. So on Halloween night, Jake dressed up again to charm the trick-or-treaters and visit a few friends.
And I apologize for the overload of pictures, but I've apparently come down with the classic new-parent-trigger-finger syndrome. I'll try to reign it in, but he's just so cute!

Oh my gosh. I love his costume! He is the cutest football I have ever seen! (Oh and NEVER apologize for taking so many pictures! haha) I love the second picture you posted. How his eyes are glued to your pom-poms. Those things scared him once, he wont have it again! He sure is keeping his eyes on them! haha
ReplyDeleteWhat a darling idea! He looks adorable!! What a cute little family. And may I point out, it's really not fair to look that good right after having a baby?! Your making the rest of us look bad! ;)
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get Jake's costume? So cute and warm. Are you sure you belong to the same church I do? On time, maybe, but EARLY? Never!
