Halloween was a smashing success!! Turns out Roxanna loves dressing up in costume and even enjoyed wearing a wig. Here’s how the day’s highlights unfolded…
First, she posed for photos at home as the world’s cutest ballerina. A special thank you goes out to our very own Project Runway superstar and expert mini-toutou designer, Grandma Lois, who put this costume together for our little Roxie.
Having never been good with accessories myself, I dropped the ball on putting the finishing touches on her sparkly head band. Imagine it , if you will.
Bundled in her faux fur (courtesy of her personal stylist who generously provided this ultimate baby wardrobe essential), Roxanna was ready to make her Halloween debut.
First stop, our mommy and baby play group. Even with lots of overheated and crying babies the moms were still all smiles, especially when we took this photo of a pile of babies in costume.
Next stop, Microsoft head office for some trick or treating. And what do you know, Roxanna she likes to share her candy, so I was quite pleased with that.
early recruiting methods
In retrospect, Colin probably should have dressed up in costume as Bill Gates, non?! And then when people at work asked what he was he could have responded, “I’m Bill Gates”. I think this would have been very funny, as long HR or security weren’t involved.
At the end of the day we found ourselves stuck in Halloween commuter traffic on the way home for almost 2 hours, but well worth it after such a fun and busy day. By 8:30pm we were all asleep and dreaming about next year.

awwww, these pictures are so cute! Roxanna is already getting so big. There are plenty of pumpkins, but only one ballerina…I think this picture should be retaken every year exactly the same until they are like 10 years old. I’ve already decided that my future child is going to live in a ballerina costume.
