Happy Halloween!

First outfit I bought Addie. The pumpkin shoes were from her Pawpaw. And clearly a 3-month-old needs a treat bag.

 

This was my first Halloween costume, made by my mom. It still looks brand new, almost 30 years later!

Putting a baby in a pumpkin

I first got this idea from my cousin Rebecca, who put her daughter, Lila, in a pumpkin when she was just about Addie's age. At the time, I seriously thought, "I need to have a kid so I can put it in a pumpkin, too."

First, there is the unsuspecting baby

Then the dad starts the carving

And the cleaning

Then a trash bag is placed in the pumpkin, and next in is the baby

She looks surprisingly calm

And you finish by adding to your holiday decor
