Halloween Weekend

Tommy sported his Denver Nuggets warmup suit for three days straight over Halloween weekend as we hit up local events and friends' parties. Starting Friday night, he appeared at 5 events in the outfit, and by the time we started dressing him in it for the last one, he was about done wearing it. He was a good sport though and looked like a true NBA baller out on the town. Holla!

Riding the Metro on the way to our first event, Hilloween at Eastern Market in Capitol Hill.


Tons of families were out in great costumes for the event.

Tommy spent more time biting this little nerf basketball than dribbling or shooting it. He did start working on his bounce passes later on, and that's when we put an end to his attempts to eat it.

After Hilloween, we ate at the Fudd, and Tommy started getting rowdy (rowdy pictures not shown). Good thing the night was over after that...but the Halloween weekend had just gotten started.

The next morning, T and Papa headed over to a community garden in DC where kids enjoyed face-painting, caramel apples, balloons, and live music in an urban garden setting.

Then later in the day it was over to a gathering a few blocks away for refreshments and a costume parade. We didn't know anyone there, but we still felt welcome, and Tommy made some new fans.

Finally, Sunday morning Tommy donned his outfit for the final time, and we headed over to the Chen-Nguyen household for brunch. For perhaps the first time since Tommy arrived, the adults were able to sit and enjoy a meal in relative peace, as Sydney and Julia kept an eye on the little guy. And the accompanying adult beverages were most definitely enjoyed by all.
