halloween

halloween is for sure one of my very favorite holidays. i love costume,s and dressing up, and candy! niya has adopted my love as well. she was sooooo into halloween. it was really fun to experience it through a kids eyes. she totally got it.

during the day i just wanted to dress her in a cute festive outfit. well, she thought she was a witch, and insisted on finding her witches hat. i didn't have one for her of course, so i had to improvise. i cut out a little hat shape out of felt, glued it onto a headband with some feathers, and voile! 
she was the cutest witch i've ever seen

for trick or treating she wore her "hoo hoo" costume. i worked really hard on this costume and when she threw a fit when i was taking off her "witch costume" i thought it was all going to be for waste. some how i managed to get her to change. candy works everytime

at first she didn't want to walk. drew kept on telling her that if she wasn't big enough to walk then she wasn't big enough to trick or treat! when she realized trick or treat meant put candy in your basket she stopped complaining

she looked so cute standing at the doors waiting for someone to open with a bucket full of candy. she said trick or treat everytime, and happy halloween!

we tried to do a family theme costume this year. Drew was harry potter, i'm hermione and niya was our little owl. drew kept telling me that hedwig was white and niya didn't look like him. i said i took some creative liscense. for our costumes i just got graduation gowns at DI and made a semi look alike gryffindor patch on my silhouette (amazing craft cutter)

after trick or treating in our neighborhood we went to drews parents. niya was so happy to see manda dressed as a panda

drew thought it was so hilarious to "cast spells" on me
yeah he's nerdy



grammy was a witch and she made super yummy chile and we ate doughnuts. it was a really fun halloween!
