Believe it or not, Kyle and I got this little penguin costume before I was even pregnant. Years before Anabelle in fact. We just found it on sale at the store our first year of marriage and thought it might be a fun thing to save for a future kiddo. Then we realized that the chances of timing things right for a baby to fit in this was slim. Guess we got lucky with this one because she is one cute penguin:)
I on the other hand, have always been challenged in the costume department and always have the hardest time coming up with something fun. Which is where the two eskimos come in to play. We figure a family theme is popular these days and so we went with it. With such a new baby and no big plans, our only halloween festivities consisted of a ward trunk or treat. Kyle was such a trooper and wore one of MY fury vests and even let me slather on some eyeliner to complete the eskimo look. The best part was getting asked if we were egyptians all night long.
But we had the candy and some make-shift trunk decorations and joined in the fun! In the end we were glad we had some way of being a part of the festivities and were glad that Anabelle got to sport the long awaited costume after all.
In the end we were completely satisfied with our costume selection as everyone else seemed to be freezing cold or hiding their babies in their cars while we were perfectly toasty and Anabelle took a little snooze in her sleeping bag-esk attire:)
