Halloween Party!

This year we had our second annual friends-with-babies-or-expecting-babies Halloween party!  It's fun to have people over who are (mostly) in the same place of life as we are.

Patrick and I are big fans of using real clothes plus some accessories to make costumes.  I mean, this year we bought clothes for Connor's outfit, but he'll be able to keep wearing those clothes.  And I had a ton of fun making his accessories!  This year our sweet boy, with his beautiful blond curls, was a little hobbit!  I sewed fake fur onto his flip-flops and made him a cape, the pattern of which is based on the cloak the Fellowship is given by Galadriel in Lothlorien.

Furry feet.

Britni and Jerod came with Parker and Porter and their awesome costumes!  Porter was the old man from the movie "Up," and Parker was a hot air balloon-man!

A bunch of other friends came over too, but I only have pictures of David and his sweet cupcake Evie. After that point, it got a little more hectic and hard to take pictures and be hosts!  We had another pair of brothers who are 2 and 3 months who came as Thor (toddler) and the Hulk (very chunky baby).  So precious!  We also had an expecting couple, Mark and Tami, who dressed up as a leprechaun and a rainbow with the pot of gold on her belly.
