First Halloween














{even Yoda knows to have a nice warm cup of milk before bed}

The night came and went in a flash. You probably wouldn't believe that last night was my very first time going out for Halloween. It was a pleasure to share a first with my little Handsome. We weren't planning on going out, but the Harvest Festival at the church was cancelled so we couldn't let Handsome's cute little costume go to waste. Trick or Treating is still in question for me. I never celebrated Halloween as a kid, never dressed up, never took candy from people. And, although its hard to believe, I don't feel deprived of some amazing experience. Just like I don't feel hurt that my parents never taught me that Santa, the Tooth Fairy, or the Easter Bunny were real. I was always told the truth and I really do thank my Padres for that. 
Anywho, our plan was to be Star Wars characters because of the costume we had bought. After lots of things going on the past weeks, Hubby and I didn't search for our own costumes. We were getting ready to take Handsome to the Palmer Fire Department with his cousins, (where Hubby, his brother, and his dad have all been firefighters) and we decided to look in our closet for make-shift costumes. It was worth the late hustle and bustle. Lots of people loved our costumes.
