Happy 1st Halloween!

Our little Oompa Loompa! Jonathan & I had fun making Ell's costume this year. She looked hilarious! Even though she didn't attend the Halloween Party, we dressed her up just beforehand so she could be in costume with her cousins since they wouldn't get to see her on Halloween day. Jonathan & I dressed up as a ghostly maid and chauffeur. The party was awesome - everyone had a great time (some had TOO good a time, ahem).

Ellison was so excited to have stumbled upon Grammy & Papa's Halloween candy stash. She played with the Dorito bag for the longest time just to hear it make noise. Cheap entertainment. We should go return all of her toys at once.

This is the Oompa Loompa on Halloween day going trick-or-treating. Her very first stop was here, to her Great Aunt Sheila & Uncle Phil's, where Lexi (the Yorki) was dressed up as a baby. Ellison thought Lexi was the greatest.

This girl was such a trooper going trick-or-treating. There's something to be said for living in the city on a day like this - living out in the country (at my parents' house where I grew up), we had to drive to every single stop (I know - like many other folks). But it's not the easiest on the little ones who have to get strapped in and out of a carseat constantly, but she did great. The weather was icky and she was coming down with a cold, but in true Mookie style, she did really well.
