Our Little Monkey

For Charlie's 2nd Halloween, Grammy made him an adorable monkey costume!  We are so lucky to have such a talented Grammy so Charlie can have cute, original costumes every year. 

Who could forget the preciousness of Charlie's 1st Halloween?? 

ROARRR!  This is definitely the cutest lion I have EVER seen.

This year was so much FUN!  Our little Monkey even put on his monkey hat for a quick photo shoot.  All we had to do was fill both hands with candy!  :) 

For a nickel I'll do a little dance! 

We didn't know if he'd be into Trick or Treating so we just planned to take him to a few of our sweet neighbor's houses.  After visiting the 1st house & realizing he gets candy, he was ready to go!  We even took him to a few houses on the street behind us.  I just love experiencing his "firsts" with him!

But what our little monkey enjoyed the most, was passing out candy!  Like most toddlers, sharing is something we are still working on daily.  Trey and I were floored how eager he was to give away 'his' candy!   He didn't want us shut our front door & just sat on his little knees with his basket ready for more kids.  I don't think we will ever forget how happy he was in those moments... Trey and I were overcome with love for our sweet boy. 

The little monkey made quite the buzz that night... pre teens were pulling out their iPhones to take pictures with him & post on facebook, and later that week while Trey took Charlie to the park, he ran into a family who said "Was he the monkey?"  :)
