Happy First Halloween!

Dearest Harper,

You were exactly one week old on Halloween, but rest assured that your newness and our sleep deprivation didn't stop us from dressing you up. You see, Daddy and I love Halloween. Before our friends started having babies, we used to dress up and go to parties. So it shouldn't come as a real surprise that Daddy had your costume before you were even born! And it shouldn't come as a surprise that, of course, we dressed you in something geeky.

That's right, for your first Halloween, you were Princess Leia! And an ADORABLE one at that! But we didn't just torture you, we tortured Winston as well. He HATES wearing the Chewbacca jacket, but it's so awesome, how can you not do it to him?!

And of course we had to get a picture of the two Leias!

Your cousin Michael came over, our only trick or treater, in fact. When you're old enough, we'll take you to a neighborhood that actually gets activity, but that's a few years down the road.

All in all, I'd say it was a pretty darn adorable first Halloween!

I love you,

Mommy
