Happy Halloween!

Our little miss Willa was a shark for her first Halloween, owing to her many teeth and propensity to chew everything to bits!

Chomp chomp

We dressed like Sheriff Brody and Quint to match her!

To celebrate, last Saturday we went to the Little Gym for their Halloween party with a bunch of other kids.  The activities there skewed a little old for her, but she had fun walking around the padded space and seeing some of her friends.

Baby friends!

That night we hosted a Costumed Pumpkin Carving for my work friends.  Only a handful of people came, but luckily for Willa one of them was her friend, Petra.

There was some mutual hugging/chomping action

We dabbled in some pumpkin painting, but because she was not allowed to eat it, it wasn't a fun experience for her.  So, I kept it quick and this was the result.  Hopefully she will like it more next year!

Thanks for the idea, Pinterest!

I also had fun with a little video of her in her costume today.  I was hoping that she would go after Roxy, but as always, I was her preferred chomping target!

I am definitely learning that having a kid makes Halloween lots more fun!  I can't wait for next year, and it's a lot of fun to reflect on how far we have come in a year :-).
