halloween!

this is our first Halloween that zella actually understands what is going on. dress up, go door to door, ask for candy and get some! that is a very good lesson to learn and then to have the anticipation of free candy take over a normally mellow child into a very excited little fairy! about 5:30 on friday night, she told me that it was starting to get dark and that we needed to put on her costume. so we put everything on and went outside to take some pictures. she had a hard time trying to stand still and smile like i was asking her to do. so i just let her be goofy and have a good time playing it up for the camera.

then she busted out in her best dance moves and it was cracking me up.

she had as much fun dancing as i did watching her dance.

at least i got one really cute picture of her.

she had so much energy...

i just love this face!

cute fairy wings. picture was taken with me running behind her.

we went trick-or-treating with zack and taylor. there were some neighborhood kids also. this helped zella to not be so overwhelmed with the commotion. and she had a great time with daddy.

i love the fact that we can trick-or-treat in shorts and flip-flops! this is proof that she was successful in getting candy.

happy halloween!
