halloween!

just like any other kid, little miss was especially excited about halloween. but i think even more so this year because she seemed to really grasp what it was really all about......CANDY!!! well and getting dressed up. the kid does love to play dress up. she had already decided that she wanted to be a princess and when we found the target version of the cinderella costume we bought it. as she counted down the days until she got to wear it, we went though all of the protocols about what to do. "you have to say trick or treat" and you have to make sure you say "thank you". so we would kind of practice the whole process when she wanted. and as we got closer and closer she got more excited. of course everyone in the house got sick the week leading up to halloween and we were all miserable, but by halloween day we were more than ready!!

little miss also decided that alexi needed to get dressed up this year. and she decided that alexi needed to be underdog- so that underdog could protect the princess (her) from the mean witch (me). so i got some cheap red fabric and made alexi a cape....she actually did pretty good with it too. and the girls loved it :)

so she got dressed in her cinderella costume, which of course was itchy!, and started getting ready. i even let her wear a little bit of make up. tonya and k came over, we ordered and ate pizza and then we were officially ready! we started off just going to a few houses to warm up and then the fun really started! little miss kept cracking me up! she kept telling people- "i love your costume!" - even to those that didnt have costumes on :) and then the best moment of the night came when she told one guy- i love your costume (he did have on a bears shirt) and the she game him a hug and kiss as his thank you. the guys was so sweet! he told little miss thank you and said that she had just made this the best halloween ever. this little girl just cracks me up! she is always so friendly and loves talking to people, and she just proved to me yet again why she is so special :)

here are a few pics of my cinderella and her protector :)
