But, we actually started celebrating Halloween on Friday at the Zoo's annual Zoo Boo. We ran into friends, took Preston all over the Zoo at different trick-or-treat stations, and really had a great night.
Preston was a moose for Halloween. :)
He would actually hold his bucket out for candy! He would give the workers big smiles. It was awesome.
Brian borrowed the moose hat for a little bit. Preston was giggling!
Zoo Boo is a great event, and we had so much fun taking P. Saturday, we headed out to Cedar Hill Farms in Hernando, MS for our friend Piper Pride's 1st birthday party. Cedar Hill Farms is great - it has a petting zoo, hay rides, train rides, a pumpkin patch, and a corn maize. We took part in several activities, and Preston just loved it. The fun thing about this stage in development is that you can actually SEE Preston having fun! It is the best thing ever.
We propped up sweet baby Avery against all the pumpkins and took her picture. She didn't even wake up!
LOVE this next picture... haha! Thief!
Preston is two feet tall!
P would actually reach out and try to pet the animals.
Saturday night we went to our friend's engagement dinner (more on that later), and Preston stayed with his Great Aunt Amy. Sunday, Brian and Preston got to work carving a pumpkin. Well, Brian did all the carving, Preston did a lot of watching :)
At school on Monday, Preston's class has a party. He got to wear his moose costume again (he wore it four times this year!) and party with his class. The best was getting a taste of ice cream! He has actually had it two other times, and was thrilled to enjoy it, according to his teachers. Apparently, he inherited a major sweet tooth from his dad.
The main event was Halloween night. We surprised Brian's parents and trick-or-treated at their house first. Of course, that was entertaining for everyone! Preston got treats from his grandparents and aunts, and then we headed over to our neighbors house. We are SO blessed that our neighborhood is mostly families, so Halloween was super eventful. Our neighborhood was PACKED with kids and families. It made my heart so full to be out trick-or-treating with our neighbors and see all the families out and about. I wish Halloween was every night!
The Brasfield's had us all over to their house for chili and appetizers before we headed out. They had an amazing stash of boy toys, so Preston was in heaven!
Preston and his buddy Reed a.k.a. Yoda.
I mean, have you EVER seen such a happy moose?! Preston was having the time of his life!
This next picture cracks me up. Preston and his neighbor friend Bennett. They are just a couple months apart. Bennett had an awesome costume - he was Superman!
Our neighborhood trick-or-treating group! We had a moose, superman, two princesses, two baby pumpkins, Yoda, Darth Vader, a caterpillar, and a dragon. Quite a crew!
Headed out to the first house...
All the little ones heading up to the first house. I had to get a picture of Preston's first trick-or-treat stop. Brian is holding him, all the way to the left.
Preston stayed up an hour past his bedtime, and he was asleep when his body hit the crib! Brian and I had so much fun with him over the last few days. Brian said it best tonight - "Just when you think you couldn't love him more, he does something new, fun and exciting." So true, honey! :)
