I know that Halloween has come and gone, but I wanted to share and show all the fun we had that day and the few days leading up to it. In my previous post I talked about how this time of year is suddenly a busy time for us and the weekend's events certainly didn't let us down. The fun started with a visit to our first family Halloween party, and the best part for me, besides seeing Braedan thoroughly enjoy himself, was getting the hubby to do something he's never done before, which is dress in costume.
The next evening we attended a pumpkin carving party, another first for us, and the hubby did a great job with our pumpkin...with a little bit of help from Braedan, of course. But Braedan made sure to grab a bite to eat before he went hard to work at carving. He is dining with his buddy Carter below.

And for the piece de resistance, Halloween night itself lived up to all our expectations. We spent the evening with our friends, the Jensen family, starting with dinner and then heading out for trick-or-treating. While I watched Braedan that night I laughed thinking about what a difference a year can make. Last year, he didn't want to wear the cowboy hat that went with his costume, he wasn't talking a whole lot and half the time he rode in a little push car and had more fun pretending to drive rather than go up to a house to get the coveted candy.
This time around he really got the hang of trick-or-treating and even practiced his good manners while doing so by responding with a "Thank you, lady" after receiving some candy during one of our stops. Who knew a pirate could be so polite.
