Pumpkins and Princesses 2012

We began our Halloween festivities with a visit to a family friend's pumpkin patch about a week before the holiday.  Everyone picked their own pumpkin and we ended up with some big lunkers!

After a tractor ride around the farm, we weighed our pumpkins on the Richter scale and packed up for home.

When it came time for the costume part of Halloween, our littlest chose a princess dress!  We got some good mileage out of it immediately.  Then she wore it at the church Halloween party that we got to spend with Kayla and family, and finally on the real Halloween day itself.

She still can be found wearing her princess dress at least once a week.  Typically we slip it on over her clothes and once it is in place, she immediately starts "pinning" (or spinning).

 

This last photo is from this week.  We like to think of our princess as a very well-rounded girl.  Not every princess plays with cars.
