During our first year of marriage, Kelli and I found two little, Columbia stocking hats, a pink one and a blue one, shaped like penguins, that we just couldn't pass up. Someday, we thought, they could belong to our very own little ones.Last summer, when Kelli was only 2 months pregnant, we bought our baby its first outfit. I picked it out. It was a penguin onesie. It was meant to be our child's first Halloween costume.
15 months later, the size "9 months" proved to be the correct choice. It fit Charly perfect. However Kelli spotted a pair of fairy wings and a tutu that she thought Charly needed this year as well. So, our daughter had two Halloween costumes!We spent a lot of time in Allison with family this past weekend. On Sunday we ate dinner at the Hennings' with Chad, Megan, Jackson, and Griffin. The boys came in their Halloween costumes as did Charly, though they didn't last long. The day before, Saturday, we helped hand out candy at my mom and dad's place with Ashley, Beau, and Cruz (the Jorgensen ABC's!). Last year at this time, there were no little ones on my side of the family. This year, there were two! A puppy and a penguin.
And although I had reservations about the fairy wings, I have to say, she pulled 'em off rather well!

Cuuuute! She makes the greatest faces. The first photo she's like, "ummmm, not sure what I'm doing in this gettup next to this giant orange thing but, whatever… take the picture already." I also think it's ironic that when she was in the penguin costume, she looks more like Jordan but when she was in the fairy costume, she's all Kelli. She was honing in her inner parents and it oozed out in her expressions.
