Halloween 2012

We had a fun and PACKED Halloween day!! We started the morning off with getting ready for preschool and Briley's costume parade.  They were able to wear their costumes for the parade and Briley was so excited.

  We were able to come to the parade and she was SO excited to see us.  I was a little worried how she would do when we left but she walked right back into her classroom.

 She was done taking pictures by Halloween night!!  She was ready for trick or treating!!

 She asked her Auntie to be Tinkerbell awhile back and of course her Auntie did not disappoint!!

  Cousin Logan came to see us!!

 Briley's favorite part was passing out candy...unless you were scary, then she wanted nothing to do with you!!

We were glad Papa and Auntie came to celebrate and we missed Gigi, Pa, and Mega.  Gigi was sick :(

Love my sweet family!!

 Experiencing a holiday through a child's eyes is SO fun!!  Can't wait for Christmas this year!!

Getting ready for Halloween

I promise I will finish up the grief project after Halloween...I want to share pictures of our fun weekend and Halloween preparations instead!!   Thursday we decorated and carved our pumpkins.  Daniel and Briley have done this together since her first Halloween.  Her and I started painting pumpkins together last year to add a new tradition :)

 

 

  Saturday was our Fall Festival at church...Daniel and I worked most of it but we still managed to get some great pictures of our 'lil pirate!!

Briley and her best friend from church Kennedy :)

 

Always like to end with a comparison...so thankful for our growing girl!!

 Carving pumpkins 2009/2012

Lots of fun planned for tomorrow...a costume parade at her school and trick or treating with family tomorrow night.  Love this time of year!!

SUYL-Halloween Costumes

Taking a break from the grief project to link up with Kelly's Korner and her SUYL series.  Today is Halloween costumes and I love any reason to show pictures of my sweet cutie in her past Halloween outfits...   Halloween 2009 Briley was a dalmatian in honor of her firefighter Daddy!!

  Halloween 2010 She was a traditional pumpkin...I loved this costume!!

Halloween 2011 She was the cutest Minnie Mouse ever!!

  Halloween 2012 This is the costume she will wear tomorrow at our church festival and next Wednesday....

She is going to be Izzy from "Jake and the Neverland Pirates" on the Disney channel.  I was SO suprrised she didn't pick a princess but she insisted on this.  Her Daddy loves it!! ;)   Yesterday she was allowed to dress up for her dance class and so I let her pick out a dress up outfit in her playroom and she picked Belle.  I thought she looked so pretty!!

I love that she can pick her own costumes out now...it makes it so fun!! ~Melissa
