this year for halloween, ely picked out her own costume. she wanted to be tinkerbell (along with every other girl). i found a costume at walmart, but didn't want to spend that much. a friend of ours, leslie, suggested that i take a green pillowcase and cut out a head and arm holes to make the costume. well, i bought the pillowcases and told my mom about it. apparently, this was too much for my mom! my wonderful mother decided to go out, buy a pattern, buy material and make ely's costume. she made all of our costumes when my sister and i were kids, so this is right up her alley. it turned out beautifully. ely was so proud of her tinterbell wings, shoes and dress. she was the best looking tinterbell i have ever seen, and i'm not biased!
tinkerbell, cowboy and chicken (aka, ely, malachi and abe)
ely and malachi
so pretty!
we also carved pumpkins this year. it was ely's first time actually getting gooey! she wasn't too excited about scooping out all the pumpkins innards.
her scary face!!
we had a very fun halloween! it's so fun to watch the wonder and excitement on your child's face when they're doing something new. this is the first year that she is old enough to actually enjoy the holidays. i am looking forward to the next few months.

I hear ya on the being able to enjoy a holiday! Just wait till her birthday, Ruby's was so exciting this year since she understood what was going on. She talked so much about her birthday candles and birthday presents, I think I was just as excited as she was!
I LOVE the costume. Your mom did a fantastic job. She is so pretty. That's what she gets from her mother. Not just the hair and the butt. :)
