I mentioned to my Reddit gifter that I did not know what to be for Halloween this year. Wow, did my Secret Santa find a solution! This mask has got to be the most surprisingly random and wonderful present I've ever received. It's a giant cardinal mask! Really, it's fantastic.

As a special bonus, I'm going to a family Halloween party next week. As I'm just 3 months along, many of them do not know the news. If anyone happens to ask what I am, I'll reply "A pregnant cardinal." Seems like the perfect way to announce my upcoming nesting.
