Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween from the Bee Family: 

Queen Bee, Worker Bee and Baby Bee

For Colden's first Halloween we decided to go with a family costume theme and I decided to make all of our costumes (with Nanny's help - thanks, Nanny).  Some electrical tape for the stripes, coat hangers, knee-high stockings and glitter for the wings and pipe cleaners for the antennae and stingers.

We took Colden around trick or treating in our neighborhood.  Yes, we know he can't eat candy...but mommy and daddy can!  He actually had a blast reaching into the bowls of candy and taking out a handful.  Between this year and next year, we'll just have to work with him on which candy mommy and daddy like the best...because he never seemed to grab the ones that we liked.

After trick or treating was over, it was time for him to admire the treasure:

 

 Note to self, maybe we can get Colden to crawl for the first time using candy as bait...

...because he really seemed to like it!

Overall, I think Colden's first Halloween was a success.
 

 (I'm not sure which one he likes better: candy or leaves)

Happy Halloween!
