Kate's First Halloween

A few weeks ago Kate celebrated her first Halloween! It was a fun-filled, busy day to say the least. Given the fact that we were sick two weekends before Halloween and then had rainy weather the following weekend we weren't able to get to the Pumpkin patch until that Halloween morning. Never the less, we actually very much enjoyed it since there was practically no one else there. We were able to enjoy it as a family without tons of people all around us. The three of us each picked out a pumpkin and upon Kate "selecting" hers and Mom holding it up with Kate to pose for a picture, our little Peanut dove right in and tried licking the Pumpkin! Oh, that would be our Baby Kate's.

After that, we went to our friend's (Bob & Mel) house and Kate had a play-date with their 3 month old daughter named Anna. It was a wonderful time with great food, tasty drinks and a glorious Packer victory! After the game, we rushed home in order to get there in time for the trick-or-treaters to arrive and for myself to whip up some of my (now) famous spiked cider for the neighborhood adults. Once again, the cider was a huge hit. I can tell we're starting to get a reputation as the "Cider House" because our doorbell never stopped ringing that first hour. Every trick-or-treater in town (and their parents) seemed to be at our house that first hour and then the final couple hours were dead. Coincidence....I don't think so!

We did have time to do a little photo shoot of Kate in her costume and her earlier Halloween outfit. As you can see, Kate went as a Strawberry. Enjoy the pics!
