Cole's 2nd Birthday

We had such a great weekend celebrating Cole's birthday as well as Halloween. Emmy and Papa came up from Orlando for the weekend. Saturday afternoon we had a few of Cole's closest friends and parents (HA!) over for a Birthday/Halloween celebration. He continues to say "Happy Day" and after everyone sang "Happy Day to Cole" he looked around and said "More, More" so needless to say, everyone sang it again.

Unfortunately Cole was not participating in wearing his 70's Disco costume. Here he is almost dressed and here he is afterwards. And here is how cute he would have looked had he actually wore it.

After the party we took a small hayride around a nearby neighborhood and trick or treated at a handful of homes. Cole thoroughly enjoyed himself and I did too. He carried around his "pumpkin patch" aka a pumpkin to collect his candy in. A pumpkin is called a "pumpkin patch". Whatever, right? Also, he totally understood the concept of "trick or treat" and how effective it was to get candy in the pumpkin patch. Of course he only likes lollipops and twizzlers. Hum, he definitely gets that from me!

He loves to ring the doorbell.
Here are a few of the other characters who came to celebrate with Cole.

Here is what Cole would have looked like had he cooperated and wore his costume.


However, here you see my struggle trying to get his costume on......
And this was right after, he wasn't happy, clearly. He HATED the afro "hat". The funniest thing too was we kept calling the afro a hat to see if that would help him to wear it. Well we had the music station on and I don't remember which group it was but you know how they show the pictures of the artists, well they all had afros and Cole looked at the TV and said, "look mommy, hats". It was pretty funny!

Cassidy the adorable witch
Chase as Batman!
Bradford the football player.
Since Cole wasn't a fan of his disco costume, I changed him into this and called him a golfer. Also, here is Cody as a pirate.
Drew was, and I will probably get this wrong, a zombie skateboarder???

Devenney as Wonder Woman.
