This was Evie's second Halloween, but the first one she dressed up for. She was a sock monkey (an old fashioned toy, literally a stuffed monkey made from tube socks). We were concerned about how the costume would go over with her as the cutest part was the hat (it had the eyes and ears and mouth). Evie, however, hates anything on her head--hooded towels, headbands, hats of any sort--so we weren't sure if she'd keep the hat on. The video above chronicles her first few minutes of wearing the costume. Once she got used to wearing the costume, however, she was her usual happy self and we had a great time with her.
We had some friends over for dinner and scary movies (Trick 'r Treat and Drag Me to Hell), and my friend Thadra and her daughter, Emma, came over to go trick or treating. I tagged along with them around the block to say hi to the neighbors and give Evie her first taste of the ritual (She didn't know what to think). Our friend and neighbor Jen stopped by with her son, Luke, who was dressed as a 1920s paper boy. You can see pics of Luke and Evie on Jen's blog here. (Jen is uber creative and put Luke's costume together herself.)
All in all, we had ourselves a very happy Halloween! How did you all celebrate? Leave me comments and let me know!
