Having a baby around the holidays is way more fun than just having a dog (sorry, Riley). Per usual, we headed to a pumpkin patch this year, with not only Riley in tow, but Gemma, too, of course.
We were THAT family who showed up with their dog, baby in a Halloween outfit, camera with self shoot setting and remote control. We trotted over to the hay bales and set up pumpkins as we see fit for our photo shoot back drop. Brian was embarrassed, I was not.
It's much harder to get your dog AND baby to pose in pictures, we are finding. Gemma loved the pumpkin patch. We think it was the twinkling lights and the colorful pumpkins. The minute we arrived, she was full of giggles and smiles.
Then it came to carving pumpkins...which as you can see by the look on her face, was boring to her. Luckily, Brian and I had fun with her, taking photos and talking to her while we carved.
We feel pretty strongly that our baby was the CUTEST dang lady bug there was on Halloween. Look at that smile, double chin and big ol' cheeks! I just want to kiss her all day long, every day.
I carved her little pumpkin for her (By the way, carving small pumpkins is hard! The flesh of the squash was much harder to carve through and it was quite difficult to get the guts out of such a small hole) - a smiling girl face with kissy lips.
We handed out candy and fought Riley to the door with each ding of the doorbell. Halloween is Riley's favorite holiday - it would be yours, too, if you were a dog that loved visitors. It was like Christmas morning every time the door bell rang....
Looking forward to more holiday-baby pictures over these next couple months...only 47 more days until the big man in the red suit visits!
