Halloween!

Well, the day finally arrived!  Gwen was a little chick for Halloween, and her costume turned out adorable.  Of course, Dan made her costume.  Is there anything he can’t do?  We made it by sewing 2 onsies together, and then stuffing them with a bunch of cotton.  The feathers are just a boa rapped around her and stitched every so often.  And, he also made her little orange tights to keep her legs warm, and also to make her more like a chicken.  It was pretty hard to get her into her costume, and she was not happy with us.  She screamed for a good 10 minutes, but I can’t really blame her.  It was rough stuff.
Dan had the day off because of Hurricane Sandy.  The SLC Goldman’s servers are linked to the NY ones, so they were down, and he got to stay home.  Well, technically work from home, but he got all his stuff done pretty fast and was able to spend most of the day with us.  We headed over to the grandparents and let them ooh and aah over little G, and her cousins came over to visit as well.  Spider man and Jack-o-lantern were so cute!  After we saw the g-parents, we went over to Michelle’s to go “trick or treating” with a couple other friends.  Of course G didn’t really trick or treat, but we walked around with the others.  It was such a nice evening.  I didn’t even need a jacket!
It was a really fun night, but G was ready to get out of that hot, fluffy costume.  I think it added about 5 pounds to her.  Dan did a really good job of stuffing it. It was a great first Halloween, and her costume was definitely a success…and thanks to Dan, only cost about 10 dollars. Yahoo!!
