We had a great time celebrating Annabelle’s first Halloween! We started the afternoon by carving our pumpkins…
Despite my best efforts, I ran out of creative energy pretty quickly. So I looked to Mike to finish up while I chatted with the Little Miss, who was also getting a little antsy. Annabelle might not look like me at all (even though I carried her for 40 weeks while her Daddy ate chocolate bon bons), but she definitely inherited my lack of patience.
Inspired by the moment, we thought we’d attempt to take a family photo for our Christmas card. Annabelle, however made it clear that she was much more interested in taking a nap…
So after a little snooze, we dressed up our Little Ladybug for some more Halloween festivities.
We were also visited by some special trick-or-treaters, Grammy, Grandpop, and cousins Ethan and Luke. I couldn’t get everyone to look at me and smile at the same time, but they all sure looked cute!
Now we look forward to next Halloween, when Annabelle can enjoy a bit more of the day (and the candy!…err, until it’s bedtime and all of the sugar her Daddy has allowed her to eat keeps her from falling asleep :)). We love our Little Ladybug!!!
They all looked adorable. You girls did a great job of birthing some special grandchildren for my sister!!
Keep up the good work with the photos, love seeing them.

Who has the bigger grin? The pumpkin or the ladybug? Regardless, they both look happy. Her cousins were equally adorable in their costumes. Your little ladybug will fly away before you know it. So, savor these precious memories.
