Baby's First Halloween

Not that it was really all that much fun to her!! But I had fun (as all parents do) exploiting my child for my own personal enjoyment! Haha! We started off the day in one outfit, but basically only wore it long enough to take the pictures. Texas decided to be rather warm today and if I would've left her in long sleeves all day, the poor girl would've died of a heatstroke!! But I just had to get pictures in this shirt. I bought it from a friend this summer at her garage sale. It says "lil' miss-chevious". Yesterday I had an interesting time trying to find the pants and bow. I knew if I didn't have her wear her headband (especially in the orange shirt) she would be mistaken for a boy. Lately when trying to find black pants I have been out of luck...it seems people don't think babies should wear black??? But I did find some yesterday at Target. I wanted a Halloween bow for her headband, but I waited too late for it. I did find this cute black one at Walmart and am glad that I got it. It'll serve more than just the purpose of Halloween.

What a pretty girl!! :)

So what did we do on her first Halloween? We first went "trick-or-treating" at our friends', Luke and Alisha's, house. Alisha sent out a message a few days ago that they were going to have trick-or-treaters and that they had treats for babies under 1. (She got an adorable stuffed monkey. :) Then we went to the church for the annual carnival, Farm Fair. This was my first time to ever go because in the past it's usually on a school night and I've never wanted to go, be out late, and then go to work the next day. So this year I actually have a child to take and I have no job so it all works out! :) Here is a picture taken of her at Farm Fair in our second Halloween outfit. This shirt was sent to her by my parents and reads "this is my costume". She did well this evening, considering she missed her last nap because I was taking her out gallavanting around town. :) I hope you and your "trick-or-treaters" had a safe and fun Halloween!

(Her eyes look all weird in this picture because it was dark outside so my only source of light was the flash, which obviously was a bright contrast!)
