Our little Wizard of OZ family had a blast at our first annual baby Halloween Party, on Halloween Sunday! The day before, Brad and I carved our family of pumpkins.... can you see each one of us? (From left) Brad with his "flava sava" on his chin, me the girly lookin' pumpkin with the huge lips, then Taji (with his two lower teeth) and Kuki the cat sitting on the haystack! We also decorated the house with spider webs, a giant ceiling hanging spider, and very cool black cat scenes on our balcony that made the house glow orange.
On the morning of Halloween, we awoke to find our very own creepy crawlers strike war (ants!). So while Brad battled them, Taji and I prepared all the tasty treats and bites to eat, and baked homemade pumpkin pie and pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. We got into our costumes just in the knick of time before our guests began to arrive. As you can see from the first picture, this year we went for the Wizard of Oz family theme. I was a blonde dorothy, Brad was the scarecrow (and yes! it was his idea to paint his face...... i love how much he got into the spirit!) and of course, our little Taji baby was the cutest little lion cub we've ever seen. He was the cowardly lion from the Wizard of Oz story, but we like to think he was a "brave" lion like his middle name Leon!
Taj was the perfect host, he greeted his friends by showing them how he can sit up now, and smiled at them with his 2 tooth grin :) He was quite comfortable in his costume too! At 1pm, our friends began to arrive. The Brandt family with their teddy bear Regan, the Jacobsen Family with their pea in the pod Cade (who was snoozing in the beginning when all the babies showed off their costumes), the Rodriguez family with their pirate Ryan, the Marovic Family with their girly pirate Gracie, and we also had the Tennant family stop by to say hi with their baby girl Brooklyn still in her mommy's tummy (she will make her costume debut at next year's party!). And last but not least, my sister and family arrived in the BEST family themed costumes. The Fetters family "Scooby Doo" themed, loved it! (Check out their pic in the slide show below). I LOVE LOVE this sweet photo of Scooby Doo Chloe and Lion Cub Taji:
Here are all the mamas (minus Ashlea) with our babes..... hope our little ones had a fun first halloween! Can't wait to show Taj this picture of him and his buddies when he is older!
We couldn't have asked for a more perfect way to celebrate our little guy's first halloween! The weather was sunny and beautiful, and we are very fortunate to have incredible friends who are all new parents just like us! With so many great photos to share from our little spooky soiree, check them out in this slideshow!:Already looking forward to next year's halloween party, when our babies will be cruising and walking all over the place!
