Last weekend, Derek was in town and we celebrated Halloween as a family. Of course, Addie had no idea. We spent the afternoon in Union Square, checking out the farmer’s market and spending time at the playground. By the time we got home, it was past 5pm and she had not had her afternoon nap, so she slept until 6, at which point it was too dark outside to go trick-or-treating. Honestly, even if she had, we probably would not have let her eat the candy, so this ended up working out! We got her costume on – she was a St-Bernard this year – and took lots of pictures, which afterall, is the point of Halloween for kids under the age of 2!

Addie seemed unsure at first, but we gave her a bucket and put candy in it and she loved playing with them, taking them out, giving them to Derek, and then putting them back in the bucket.

We then decided to have her take a look at herself thinking that she would get a kick out of her costume, and she did!

Who's that doggie Mommy?

For the big finale, we decided to take pictures of her in the bathtub – without water, of course.

The doggie is getting a bath!

We had a great time and even though Addie was a bit confused as to why she was wearing a warm and furry outfit for a few minutes, it was wonderful to be together as a family. Can’t wait for Thanksgiving!
