Baby's First Boo


Sage celebrated his first Halloween yesterday. We spent the evening at Uncle Jon and Aunt Sarah's house. Their street hosts a Halloween block party and chili cook off. So, Sage and I made our way over to the festivities (Daddy was working) just before dusk. Sage wore his glow-in-the-dark skeleton onesie while we hung out with Uncle Jon, Aunt Sarah, cousin Noah, and Grandma Cline waiting for it to get dark.

Once it started to get dark, we dressed Sage in the costume his Aunt Cora got for him - a Tootsie Roll. Sage made the cutest Tootsie Roll ever and didn't complain at all about wearing the costume. Although, he did have on his usual serious face! Noah was wearing a golfer's outfit - super cute!

Just as we started trick-or-treating, PaPa arrived and we headed out. Sage stayed awake for the first few houses while people oohed and ahhed over him. He quickly fell asleep though. So, we enjoyed watching Noah trick-or-treat. At first, Noah wasn't sure what to do. But, after a few houses, he figured it out and started heading straight for the candy bowl every time! Although he didn't say trick-or-treat, Sarah did manage to get him to say, "Thank You" each time. And, of course, everyone let Noah know how adorable he was as well.

After we finished trick-or-treating, we returned to the house to pass out candy to the rest of the trick-or-treaters. We laughed at the jokes and enjoyed seeing all the different costumes. They announced the winners of the chili cook-off and Sarah won 2nd place! Out of 11 different chilis - that's fantastic.

Although Sage was too little to participate, he seemed to perfectly content to be in his costume and being adored upon by his family and the people passing out treats. We had a great time!
