Last month we celebrated your second Halloween (third if you count the one when you were in my belly!). Again and again and again. Ha! We went to three Halloween parties the week prior to Halloween so when the holiday actually came, you were well-versed on all of the particulars of the day (the costumes, the "trick-or-treat" you said so adorably by that night, and the goodies!).
Your costume rotation this year included a ladybug (a hand-me-down from Isla), a giraffe (a gift from NaeNae and grandpa) and a soccer player.
The soccer costume was the one you wore just once, on Halloween night, while trick-or-treating with the Dansby clan. I had a few costume ideas for the night, but I knew the one you would love the most would be a soccer player costume. You are obsessed with balls and talk about them and soccer all the time. So you and I went to a used sporting gear store where we got your uniform and shin guards. The only uniform they had that would fit you was for team Mexico, so daddy also got you a Mexican flag to go with your uniform. And suddenly you were an olympic soccer player! :)
I did not spend quite as much time on my costume for the evening. I was a junk drawer, and had various things one might find in a junk drawer velcro-ed to an old shirt of mine. Ha.
You didn't actually eat any candy from the night, but grams and grandpa thoughtfully gave you a goodie bag that included popcorn. Your new favorite!!!
Like last year, daddy managed to be the perfect companion for you Halloween night. The two of you are the cutest!
The holidays really are the best now that you are here, baby girl! xo
