Troy's 1st Halloween

Troy: Tigger
Charlotte: Winne the Pooh
Ben: Christopher Robin




Our ward party was hilarious. Everyone dressed up, including the Elder's Quorum President dressed as Little Bo Peep. Tells you how much our ward gets into Halloween. They had dance-dance revolution, cake-walk, fishing booth, and other things. Dinner was served and trunk-or-treating after.

The party held at our place turned out great! Liss and Brock made it spectacular, plus everyone brought yummy stuff. We had so much fun and will not hesitate to do it again. Two soups, crescents, fruit, salad, rootbeer, and caramel apples that would stick to your mouth for hours. We played battle of the genders, always a winner. Thanks for that contribution Garzas :)

Our Costumes: Troy's was $5 dollars at Babys R Us, last minute sale. I got all my stuff from DI for $9 in about 10 minutes the day of Halloween. I washed everything right before we left to the parties. We didn't really know what to do for Ben's, but he has long socks on! Maybe rain boots and a rain hat would have made it more believable. Next time...

Troy update: He is 7 1/2 months. He army crawls to get things he wants. He decided to start talking on Sunday during Sacrament meeting of course :) He is still super smiley and always kicking. He wants to put everything in his mouth, especially if Daddy is eating it. He always sounds out of breath because he moves so much. He laughs when we laugh. He Loves books. He still has no expression in the bathtub. He grabs the spoon when I try to feed him. He tipped a bowl of hot chili down Ben's pants at the ward Halloween party and cried because it was hot. However, when he does cry from pain or fear, it is less than 10 seconds. He is constantly rolling and still refuses to sit up. We love him so much and can't believe how big he is. (Apparently not that big though, there was a child his exact age at the ward party and he looked 2 months older than him.)

It was a great Halloween.
