Halloween 2008 - Chochosaurus

Not only was this our 4th Halloween as parents but starting this year, Jasmine has joined us with our halloween extravaganza. This time Nicholas dressed up as a dinosaur, Chochosaurus. And Jasmine dressed up as herself, sleeping beauty.

Chocho wanted to be a lion initially, and we found a lion costume at Walmart, but unfortunately it was too small for him. Mike & I went to several Walmarts and we could not find a lion costume in his size. So Mike decided to buy him the Dino costume instead and luckily he agreed to wear it. He's got a matching green pumpkin basket which he chose himself at Walmart as well (yes we are loyal Walmart shoppers).

We went back to the same neighbourhood we went to last year, and just like last year, there were alot of action going on. Lots of kids, and lots of homes that got all decked out for the occasion. One house is always super decorated, we talked to the owner about it and apparently he spends a good 6-7hrs just to put up all the decorations on his lawn!

When we got home, Chochosaur continued the night by giving out some candies to the kids who came to our house. It was a fun night, and luckily the weather was not too cold.

Jasmine 3 days old

Here's....Jasmine! (and Chocho)

We've been prepping up Nicholas for the new baby, and he seemed to always respond well about the fact that he is going to be a big brother. But when Jasmine finally arrived, his actions are very surreal. He is beyond happy to be a big brother. He told everyone in school that Jasmine is his new baby sister and that he's gotta be gentle with her. He also keeps saying how Jasmine is his, not Mama's or Dada's, just his. :)

Chocho's corner..

Is now a little more crowded.. :)

Mama gave birth to a beautiful baby girl yesterday evening, just before 8pm!

Baby Jasmine is strong and healthy, weighing in at 8 pounds, 6 ounces. Chocho was 8 pounds, 10 ounces.

Sorry, no pictures yet. They kicked me out of the hospital last night and the camera is still there. I can't wait to get back there in the morning!

Updates soon..
