Halloween 2012

 Back in the summer Ella was obsessed with fairy tales.  She was always asking me to read them to her or tell her them.  One day as I was telling her the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears we decided it would be fun if our family dressed up as those characters for Halloween.  We kept it really simple and had one of my old young women crochet bear hats and then dressed Ella up and curled her hair.  I asked her if she wanted blonde hair, but she quickly refused and told me that she likes her brown hair.  The idea sounded cuter than it ended up being.  No one seemed to have any idea who we were at the Trunk or Treat the weekend before Halloween.  This made it easy for me to change plans the night before Halloween when Ella told me she wanted to be Belle.

Ella fortunately had this beautiful Belle dress up from her birthday so she wore that.

 We found Ella's old costume from two years ago and it fit Sophie perfectly so she dressed up as a fairy.

 Usually it is really cold on Halloween here in Utah, but this year it snowed the week before and then got really warm again.  It was 70 degrees on Halloween! It was a fun holiday filled with way too much candy and lots of opportunities to get together with friends and family.
