This year Halloween fell on a Sunday. In Oklahoma City, like many other cities, trick-or-treating was done the night before.
Michael is a Halloween fanatic so our front yard is always decked out for all to see. Rayleigh had a fun time sitting outside with me watching Daddy put out all of his decorations the first week of October.
I made Rayleigh's Halloween costume this year. She was a ladybug naturally! She wore a black long sleeved onesie with black tights and shoes and then the big fluffy tutu and wings that I made her.
On Saturday we thought it would be fun to take Rayleigh to PicturePeople and get her pictures done in her Halloween costume. Well, she was hungry when we got there so while we waited for our turn I went ahead and fed her, but then she was tired. We got 2 pictures out of her before we even got her costume on her and realized it just wasn't going to happen so we rescheduled for the next day, Halloween.
So we went on home and took a nap. When she woke up it was time to get her in costume and pass out candy. We had quite the crowd this year thanks to Michael's scary graveyard out front. Everyone that came to the door gushed about how cute our little ladybug was!
On Halloween day we got up pretty early and got Bug in costume and went straight to see her Gamme. We spent some time there visiting and getting some pictures in her costume before heading to PicturePeople for her appointment. This time was so much better and we got several cute pictures!
Michael had to work Halloween night so Lovie & I took Rayleigh up to the hospital to visit her Aunt Savvy who is a nurse in the ER there. Her Aunt Savvy showed her off and bragged about how cute she is!
After that I went with some good friends to Haunt the Zoo with Rayleigh Bug! She had such a good time seeing all the people and lit up Halloween decorations! One of the zoo volunteers told us that Rayleigh was the cutest ladybug of the night by far!!! And that means a lot to us because there were a ton of ladybugs there!
Rayleigh had a wonderful and busy First Halloween. Maybe she'll grow up and be a Halloween fanatic like her daddy!
