Ethan's First Holiday - Halloween!

Ethan's first holiday in this world was Halloween. Anyone who knows Todd very well will think this is funny because Todd is not the biggest fan of Halloween. He just wants to skip over it and start thinking about Christmas and all the joy it brings our family (from the christmas decorations to the festiveness in the air to the time spent with family)

When they gave us our due date of Oct. 27th, we both looked at each other and laughed and said "a Halloween baby!" Then we said, "what happens if he is born actually on Halloween?" Well, he was born on Oct. 2nd so we are in the clear. However, I have to laugh at the way Todd has warmed up to Halloween. We were in Kirklands sometime this past September and I found Todd over by the Halloween decorations. He had this ceramic pumpkin in his hand that lights up and has the monogram D on it. He continues to say "let's buy this pumpkin and at least have one Halloween decoration in the house." I laughed and thought it was cute because we talked about how Ethan was going to be our fall/halloween baby and how could we not embrace the halloween holiday? I told Todd I was going to mark the calender when we got home that he purchased a pumpkin. We both had a good laugh that day. You can see the pumpkin in his pictures below.

As for dressing up Ethan in his outfit, we first had to decide where to get his Halloween costume. I had planned on pottery barn but the smallest size was 3 months. So, I checked Babies R'Us and they didn't have anything. I went back a few weeks later and we found a newborn Mickey outfit! Perfect! We love Disney! We didn't really do anything but hang out as a family at the house since Ethan doesn't have his shots yet, but we sure did have a good time.

We love our little Mickey!
