Lydia's Halloween

 I was short handed on Halloween with a sick husband at home. So Lydia dressed up in her costume to go see her Mama and Papa, they had a little gift bag ready for her (pics from my camera have not been downloaded, mom fail) We also went to see Aunt Sarah and Uncle Tony, they also had a gift bag and my Aunt took some pics for me on her camera while we were there.

Lydia dressed in a pink and black witch costume, complete with hat that barely stayed on her head. (Yes I was worried what I might be starting by dressing my 18 month old in a witch costume when every other 18 month old was wearing a fluffy puppy or duck costume) BUT it was $7.50 at Menards and we have no hand me downs yet, so we went with it and she looked pretty darn cute! She even twirled and modeled for us!

We then went home and answered the door for our trick or treaters. Lydia stayed in her costume and loved seeing everyone come to the door, she never got scared which I thought she might, but she would close the door and say bye when they left and soon run to the kitchen window asking for "more". I think it was a good plan to stay home and let her experience costumes for her first time in the comfort of her own home.

Halloween has passed which means Thanksgiving and Christmas are right around the corner, I love this time of year :)
