Doodlebug's First Halloween!

We had so much fun celebrating Halloween with Doodle...granted, it was any other day for her except we dressed her in what she considered, a VERY stupid outfit! We thought it was the cutest thing ever of course. She was a dragonfly this year going along with the theme of her being our "Doodlebug".

Prior to the actual day of Halloween though, I dressed her up in cute, Halloween-ish clothes all week.....it was so much fun! Thank you to Grandma Otte and our good, good, friend, Jean for the cute clothes!

On Halloween, I was able to bring her dressed up to Baby Boot Camp and she was able to play with all the other kiddos who were dressed up as well. It was so much fun!


Here she is wearing a very cool light up shirt from Jean....if you look at the big pumpkin in the middle, you can see the light. She thought it was very cool!

Another fun shirt!


Not too happy in her costume!! She is SO dramatic!



At boot camp, with our friends Alyssa and Cori. (Notice we have lost the hat and the booties by this point-they didn't last very long!)

Hangin' in the stroller before boot camp....looking too cute in her costume! Cori was also VERY cute as a little bee!!


Playing with Cori at the end of class....
