My grandson won 1st Place in a Halloween costume contest! (pics)

[luvflorida]

Our 14 month old grandson took 1st Place in the 5 and under age group at our community Halloween Party this afternoon. He won ten dollars, and when one of the judges handed him the money, he promptly handed it back to her!

We added the Benjamin Button name tag to his sweater right before we left for the party, because we were thinking people might not know who he was supposed to be. Turns out, he didn't really need it. Most people (including the judges) said they knew who he was without even reading his name tag. One judge said, "Why, he looks just like my grandfather!"

Here is Benjamin Button!

He looks sad in this picture, but I think it's the make-up. He was patiently waiting for the train he was on to get moving!

SO cute! I wasn't on the board for so long I didn't even know you had a grandson! He is adorable. How is Arizona? Not sure if you remember, but DH and I go to Maine as often as we can in our RV...love that state.

Thanks so much! Yes, he is definitely our pride and joy! We LOVE being grandparents!

Benjamin Button is the character in the movie, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button". Benjamin Button ages backwards. When he is born, he's a baby, but an old man. As he grows up, he gets younger. I know, sounds weird!

LUVWINNIE! I haven't "seen" you around in ages! Of course I remember you and your precious pup! We are loving Arizona, but also miss a lot of things about Maine. We still have our house in Kennebunk. Tough time to try and sell it, so we are renting it out for now. We've been in Arizona for a little over a year now, and STILL marvel at the abundance of sunshine and warm temps! I've never seen so much sunshine in my life! Hope all is well with you!

super cute! both my sons have that outfit!!

My daughter bought the shirt, sweater vest, hat and shoes at the Children's Place. The pants are actually leggings from the little girl's section, and the socks are adult ones cut down to fit. She couldn't find any in the kid's section that matched the sweater vest.


Thanks, everyone! I have to give all the credit for the costume to my daughter and her husband. I wanted Carter to be something cute and cuddly. Of course, I think Carter would be cute in ANY costume!
