When we began looking for Halloween costumes for Jordan's first Halloween, we weren't sure what to dress him up as. That is until we saw the Little Monkey suit. Absolutely perfect! It even had a padded belly to go over his padded belly.
We don't know if Jordan really knew what to make of this whole idea, but mommy and daddy had a blast trick-or-treating around the neighborhood. We began by walking over to the neighborhood pool. They had pizza and drinks and did a little parade around the pool for the kids.
Then we hit some select houses throughout the neighborhood. Running short of daylight (and warmth), we tried to strategically plan our route of 5 houses. We hit Josh and Loren, followed by Lindy and Ross
since they live about 5 houses from each other. Then came Russ and Brittany, followed by Adam and Julie, and Sarah and Robert. By this time, it was dark, we were freezing, and the monkey was exhausted (so were the monkey's parents who didn't have the luxury of riding in style and being pushed).
All in all it was a great Halloween and we couldn't have picked a more perfect costume. Unfortunately, we've set the bar high in the costume department for future years.
