Cayden's 1st Halloween

Get ready for cute overkill! Cayden has many nicknames, as I have discussed in previous posts. One that really seems to stick is Turkey. Like, "Oh Cayden, you are such a Turkey." After perusing the costume possibilities...the Turkey won out! Purchased in the smallest size possible 6-12 months, it proved to be Ginormous. Like the awesome parents we are, we stuck him in it anyway! Anything for a photo opp, right? It lasted just a few minutes, but here he is!!


Once we figured out that he wouldn't be wearing it out in public without a major meltdown, we improvised. One chocolate brown onesie to the rescue!


We knew our stops would be few. Cayden decided to only nap for 1 1/2 hours ALL day, and we thought he might just go ballistic if we dragged him all over creation. So we narrowed it down to two. We went to Jennifer's house, and the turkey was a hit.
Our first stop was just down the street at Camilla's house. Everyday there something more I love about our neighborhood. Camilla living down the road will be fantastic as they grow up. It is great to have a couple like John and Kristin to go through the journey of parenthood with, and Camilla is pretty much the same age as Cayden (8 days apart anyway).

Here are the two future BFF's in their costumes. It's hard to tell from this photo, but Camilla looks so dainty compared to Tank, aka. The Turkey. Of course the giant feet and turkey head gear don't help his cause. It was a great first Halloween!
