Gaven was born in the year of Tiger so it’s only fitting that he is Tigger for Halloween. 
Actually, we’ve been wanting to dress him in a Nemo costume. We couldn’t find the costume at the store anymore, I think it was discontinued. Then, Janet worked very hard to get him the costume from her work after asking around at work. It was the only one that they have and it is an 18 month size. It is a tad bit big on him so we just kept it for next year. Fortunately for us, we were able to snatch up the Tigger costume from Babies R Us at clearance for a mere $8+.
We realized we didn’t have a pumpkin for Gaven’s first Halloween. We have been so busy for the past few weekends that we didn’t have time to carve pumpkins. So I ran to Nancys Ranch after work to pick Gaven a pumpkin. We decided to just carve 1 pumpkin since we would not have time to carve 3 pumpkins, one for each of us. Also, to save time, instead of doing a fancy schmancy design, we just picked his little hand prints as the design. I got this idea from one of the blogs that I follow.
It only took John 15 min to carve it. I think it took us longer to have him sit still with his hands on the pumpkin. Definitely a 2-person job. We could have easily carved 3 pumpkins that night… but oh well, next year we will be more prepared. Gaven loves his pumpkin!
Here’s Gaven sitting on our doorstep with his pumpkin. The other 2 are fake lighted pumpkins that we got from Big Lots.
We set up a simple Halloween décor for our house.
Next year, Gaven will be able to go trick or treating!
