To Infinity and Beyond...!

On October 30th we had our first of what we hope will be Cole's Annual Birthday/Halloween party. When we found out I was pregnant with Cole and he was due on October 25th we had visions of Halloween Birthday parties for him. When the little bugger took so long to come and arrived on November 3rd we weren't sure Halloween parties would work. Much to our happiness it was a great idea and will be our new tradition.

We had about 25 adults and kids, all in costume, come for the party. It's awesome to see Grandparents, parents, kids, single people in their 30's all dressed up. Some great costumes were seen. Miss Piggy was my personal favorite and I didn't get a picture of her. Sorry Vanessa!

Here are a few highlights from the party!

Father Al and Alea (dressed as a Huskers Fan, okay so not everyone dressed up!)

The next evening we set out to go Trick or Treating. The kids got dressed up in their costumes (which now had a few stains on them) to head out. I was really excited to go with Cole this year as last year I missed the fun being home with our tiny newborn Kenleigh. It started out great and then we realized that as we left each house, a group of older kids in very scary masks were always walking up. By about the 4th house Cole was so scared of the kids and their masks that he asked to go home. We tried to get a few good pics of the kids before it all went to heck. Action shot of WonderWoman! Wondering if her super powers can break down the gate?

It was a great party, a great Halloween and makes us look forward to all of the fun we will have in future as the kids get older!
