In anticipation of Halloween a couple of months ago we started thinking about what we could dress up as and more importantly what we could dress Bridget up as. We gave up pretty quickly on trying to think of a family theme and decided to just focus on B and this is what we came up with. We thought it was funny considering she is the only one in our family who was born in the US and as a bonus it was probably one of the first things she saw while looking out the window of the delivery room (which I'm totally sure she did). Kate made the dress and sash herself, the torch is a flashlight with a napkin taped to it, and we found the crown in Times Square at a tourist store. Bridget was all about dressing up. She kept the crown on and held onto the torch which I didn't think she would. I think it turned out really well.
On Halloween day Kate brought Bridget into the city to take pictures. As I look at these pictures it reminds me of the "Stay Puff Marshmallow Man" from the Ghostbusters walking around, maybe that's what I should have dressed up as.
Bridget meeting one of her admirers who shortly thereafter licked her face. His tongue was half the size of her face; she thought it was great.

Of course we took her out trick-or-treating. We started at about 5:30 and went for about a half hour. She loved walking around the streets with all the other kids around and the occasional person giving her candy seemed to work for her as well.
Jackpot!
Kate and I took turns going out with Bridget while the other one stayed home to hand out candy. Our neighborhood is funny in the way they hand out candy. Everyone just sits outside on their stoops and the kids go from stoop to stoop for candy. Kids can get a lot of candy fast, so lots of kids come trick-or-treating here. We must of had over three hundred kids come by before 7:00 when after already making one run to the store for more candy we realized that we were out of candy and Bridget had not had dinner yet and was running only on excitement and candy (typical Halloween diet)
Inspecting the haul.
