Halloween and So Forth

Ya, I'm a little slow posting these, they are just TOO CUTE to leave out :) So Hallie has been planning on being Cinderella for months and with the sealing coming up I decided this was a perfect opportunity to do a practice dress before I make her temple dress. Little did I know that the dress instructions were next to impossible to follow and the fabric that was "so perfect" was just the right kind to make sewing 100x's harder... But with a little pixie dust and a LOT of help from my amazing sewing mom and sister (which included a trip to AZ THANK YOU THANK YOU!!) we got it done. All that was left was my fairy godmother costume (started and finished day of the party) and Leilah's costume (thankfully purchased). Leilah was the pumpkin and Hallie was convinced with a wave of my wand she would turn into a beautiful carriage and whisk her away to the ball. So of course all night she was bibbity bobbitying Leilah trying to get her carriage!
At the trunk or treat

promise she didn't actually eat that, but doesn't she have the perfect "Oops, I got caught" face!)


This is Hals trying not to smile...lol

Leilah also just turned 6 months old! Here are a few pics of that day. We went to the Desert Botanical Garden; hooray for November and being able to be outside! It was beautiful!







Chihuly had an exhibit called "Desert Towers" I love his work so it was fun to see it at the garden :)



Hallie is very into "performances" lately and is currently/constantly wearing her old ballet costume and putting on shows for us. The best was she decided she was a "rose fairy princess" and needed to pick flowers... adorable!



On the way to the flowers she hummed, twirled and danced. This is a short clip of on the way back :)
