Happy Halloween!

Here's a picture of my happy little lion on his very first Halloween!

That was about the only smile we got out of him all day, but it sure was cute!

He started out the day as a pumpkin.

These pictures are really out of order, but we first went to visit Migi and Pops (Joel's parents). After a short visit there, we headed over to my friend Megan's house for a hay ride and drinks. None of the babies were old enough to actually go trick or treating, but it was still a lot of fun! The hay ride was chilly, but it was exciting going around the neighborhood and checking out all the people and houses decorated up for Halloween. Thanks to Megan for having us over!

Here is a picture of Hudson and his two buddies! Ben, the giraffe, is just a couple of weeks older than Hudson and Hunt, the monkey, is about four months older than Hudson. I just love all of these costumes! They were so funny how they were just checking each other out.

Here is Hudson and Hunt. Hudson had this blank look pretty much all night long. I think he was thoroughly confused! Hunt was loving Hudson's head gear! It was so funny! Don't you just love little Hunt's ears?!?!?

Here is a picture of my little pumpkin earlier in the day.

He loved the pumpkins at Migi and Pops' house!

Friday night we dressed Hudson up in his costume and went to visit my grandparents at Brookdale. Mama Jean couldn't get enough of this little guy! Mama Jean made us go around to all her friends in assisted living to show him off. It was too cute! Then, we went to see Grandmother and Granddaddy in independent living and we got to them right at dinnertime so Hudson was the star of the show again! He did great! I was a little worried about all the old folks getting up in his face because he used to have a fear of gray headed people, but he was awesome! I don't think he knew what to think...and he couldn't move all that much in the costume! Poor thing--when we took his hat off he was sweating up a storm! It was a small price to pay though! I know the grandparents loved showing him off (and I didn't mind either!).

It was a great first Halloween at the Reed household! We can't wait to have many more! I'm already thinking about what he can be next year!
