Halloween & Fall Festivities

With it being Tatum's first holiday we were ready to celebrate.  Being two weeks old he had no clue, but we had fun! 

Teaching Tatum about mail right away - I love sending/receiving cards so we got a few Halloween cards into the mail for some friends and family.  On Halloween Eve we had some family over to see Tatum in his costume and host for the first time in forever.  We kept it easy with appetizers/drinks then a lasagna from a local place with salad and meatball sandwiches.  I also made my favorite Christmas cookies with some Halloween sprinkles instead.


Tatum's looks for celebrating - we started getting festive on Monday morning and kept it going through last night - with a baby's first holiday, it's hard to skip the cuteness! 


In addition to having dinner on Halloween Eve we also each "did" an activity with Tatum - Daddy and Tatum carved pumpkins for the front porch and Mommy and Tatum made cookies.


Yesterday the weather was perfect! We went on our first visit to Pumpkinland with the little guy and took advantage of being outside in the nice weather.


We kept things classic for his first halloween and went with a pumpkin for a costume.  We found Stella a little matching outfit, which surprisingly she didn't mind so we decided to get in on the theme too with some pumpkin t-shirts to make a little pumpkin patch of four.


My two sweet pumpkins... 


Last night we handed out candy to the trick-or-treaters which I loved - at our old neighborhood we never got any.  Before the night was over we bundled Tatum up and took him trick-or-treating at a few neighbors houses.  


A very fun first holiday! xx
