Happy Halloween!

When I was still pregnant with Addie last year, my sister becky bought us a pirate wench outfit on halloween clearance. I love my sister becky times ten already, so her giving me adorable things is just icing on the cake. She was pregnant at the time too, so she bought her baby the boy version, as seen in the pics we took of the pirate cousins in september. Even though Addie had already been photographed in her pirate outfit, I still thought the costume deserved to fulfill its halloween destiny so Addie wore it today as well. Here are the pics to document her first halloween.
Here's Addie in the pirate ship's boudoire, preparing to go out pillaging:


Here she's flashing her best pirate smirk in our incredibly leafy front yard:

This is actually in front of our neighbor's house. They had a big ol' pumpkin up front that I opportuned for some cute pics with addie:



Then we went to sam's work for their halloween party. His company's building DECKED OUT every department, I was thoroughly impressed. It's always so fun when companies make you feel loved by going out of their way to make holidays special family events. Here are some pics we got of addie and her BFF baby josh, who was a frog prince:


All pooped out after a long day of looting:

Sam was in Seattle all week interviewing at E&Y and Deloitte (sorry, but we wont be giving detailed updates on the job hunt process until it's all over). Between the combination of his multiple interviews and a nasty bout with food poisoning... he just wanted to lay low this halloween. I love the holiday too much to sit it out though, so I dressed up like trinity from the matrix. Here's an action shot we got of me jujitsuing.


I hope everyone had a totally fun halloween! Check out the rest of the pics at the picasa album.

very cute, good post. I'm glad your trinity getup fits so nicely still, post baby. That's something to be proud of.

I love the pirate costume...is there anything Addie doesn't look completely adorable in? I think not.

She is the cutest pirate in the world! I love her little friend's frog prince outfit too! What a pair! I agree with Jenni and give you mass props for looking so dang good in that Trinity costume. You amaze me!

I passed out candy to over 1100 kids downtown on Halloween. Pirates were big this year. But, and I mean this seriously - there was no pirate I saw as cute as Addie! She is so stinkin' cute in that costume!!!! Happy Halloween!

What a dang cute little pirate! She could have commandeered Tave's ship and his little heart with that darling face! (he was a pirate too! hehe)
And you look just fantastic. So much so that I might have to hate you.
