Halloween 2014

Halloween 2014 was great! As you can see Elsie was Elsa the snow queen from the movie Frozen. She was so excited to go as Elsa. The only problem was when I finally got around to looking for a costume it was a bit late, since everyone wanted to be Elsa this year! They were all sold out in her size. We had already been toying with the idea that Will's, amazing cousin, who went to school for costume design could make her the costume and so that is just what we did. I wish I had taken a picture of the night she came to show us the fabric samples. She brought lots of blue, green, teal, and aqua fabric of all different kinds for Elsie to pick from. Elsie got to pick the exact fabrics and so help design what it would look like. It was a really fun experience and I would love to do it again if we can. As you can see it turned out fabulous. In the second picture you can see Will's cousin Lyndi the sewing creator extraordinaire. Catherine was a giraffe just like Elsie was for her second Halloween simple but soooooo cute. 

It was a busy day but good. We started out by going to Elsie's school to see her costume parade. Then one of Adah's friends took Catherine so she could help run Elsie's class party. After that we relaxed a bit and Catherine had a nap. When we got Elsie home from school it was crazy again. We needed to carve the pumpkins and get ready to trick or treat. As it turned out we took a long to time to carve the pumpkins (which had not been done before hand because of Will not being available and us being busy on the weekends) so we started out late on our trick or treating. It was warm out and a fun night though. After trick or treating we went to our friend's house in our neighborhood for a little party she was having. It was a fun but long night.
