Happy Halloween: Our Little Pumpkins 1st!

Last night was Giada's first Halloween! We dressed her up as a little ladybug and had all our family over to celebrate. She must have felt the excitement of the day because she did not want to take naps...30 minute naps all day long...that's it! Needless to say I knew it could be a loooong night, not to mention the fact that it made it really hard to prepare the house and food for guests...thank goodness my sister was here prepping food and my in-laws came and got the patio ready! As always, it all got done and turned out perfect. We munched on appetizers and my mom's homemade chili, while topping it all off with Frankenstein dirt cake treats that Emily made. We joined up with the Costa's and Ledger's to do a little trick or treating in our neighborhood. The kiddos were all so cute and excited, I loved to see the costumes the adults put on to pass out candy. It was a perfect first Halloween for Giada and it meant so much to celebrate it with family and good friends. Our little bug was just so cute and she knew it! Looking forward to all the years and costumes to come...
