Reed goes to Prom

I think by now you've figured out that Jon and I love an excuse to dress up. Luckily for us, so do most of our friends, so it seems like we usually have quite a few opportunities during the year to don ridiculous duds. There is no excuse better than Halloween and until he's old enough to protest, The Reedster gets to be part of the madness. Tio and Auntie "C" have hosted a big Halloween party the last couple of years. There is always a theme and it is always awesome. This year it was a "Halloween goes to Prom" party. I would explain but I feel like you will get the idea by looking at the pictures.



If you didn't guess, we were "Star Wars goes to Prom." Jon was a Storm Trooper, Reed was Darth Vader, and I was Princess Leia. I know I'm holding Reed in both of these pictures, but he walked around on his own for about the first hour of the party and was then up and down for another hour or so after that. Everyone was amazed at what a good walker he's become.

I was a little worried about how Reed would react to a dark loud room with a bunch of masks, makeup, and strange outfits, but it didn't really seem to phase him. When our friends Lindsay and Karl showed up as scary clowns I thought we were definitely going to have a meltdown, but instead Reed thought it was funny.

I think we have some competition in the cutest family department though!!!

Don't worry Reed wasn't up too much past his bedtime. Since we live just around the corner Jon and I switched off being on baby duty and being at the party once we tucked The Kiddo in for the night.
