Little Stinker Halloween

Grandma Esther made an adorable skunk costume with little leather padded feet- it just barely fit at labor day and we outgrew it by halloween. Thanks to G's cousin, Collin, we had a hand-me-down skunk body with the feet cut off from when he was a skunk 10 years ago! It worked perfectly.

We put his costume on the weeks leading up to halloween and told him he was a skunk- he decided he was an "itty" (a kitty).

Grandma and Grandpa Hagen came over to celebrate (thanks mom for the black cat martinis!). We had a great photo shoot in the sun, but I forgot to take trick-or-treating pictures- oops! There is always next year!

His favorite part was handing out candy to the kids at our door. He even gave a little dragon a kiss!

And our little stinker is off!

Yummy halloween sugar cookies. The days of cutely decorated sugar cookie cut-outs with homemade buttercream are gone for now. At least they were not from a Pillsbury tube!

Happy Birthday Grant!

Grant is one year old today! That is right, at 8:30 a.m. 10/6/09 our little guy came into this world a 6lb 12 oz- a little tike. The year has zipped by and we feel so lucky to have such a sweet, funny, and amazing little guy. He is such a little person now and he can finally return our hugs and kisses!

We treasure every moment and look forward to making more memories. What a great year it has been and what a great adventure lies ahead.

And here is what you have been waiting for all year..... drum role please! The onesie photos! Oh my, how he has grown!
