My girls were so happy with their costumes this year! Penny chose to be Mariposa, a butterfly fairy from a Barbie movie that she loves right now. And what do you know, we were walking through the Barbie aisle at Target a month ago and there was one last Mariposa costume. Penny was overjoyed, to say the least. We added some pink shoes and I made her a flower crown, which she loved. At first, Violet was going to be a matching pink fairy but we were walking through a costume shop and saw a little Dorothy dress in just her size. I knew Target had red glitter shoes for girls (because I shop there way too much) and I knew Violet would be an adorable little Dorothy. I made her little blue hair bows and I may have squealed when I first put her costume on her. I like this kind of Halloween where I just buy the costumes! Easy!
Penny with her adorable preschool class.
Grandma Referee with little Dorothy, who stole her whistle.
Parade time! I remember I LOVED the Halloween parades when I was in elementary school.
We found another Dorothy! This picture kills me, Violet looks so happy with her big twin!
Later that evening, we continued our Halloween tradition of trick or treating with Lana and her kids, Max and Elsa. I love this picture! Those kids are adorable.
Larsen Family Halloween 2013, woot woot. I was a cat for the third year in a row (I've committed to have a different costume next year, I promise!) and Paul was a big, blue Smurf haha. Each department at his work competes in a costume contest and his department won this year! I hope it was worth it, because that blue paint took forEVER to come off. (Both girls were scared of Paul when he came home from work, and Penny wouldn't hold Paul's hand the whole night haha).
First house! Waiting patiently...
Violet had the trick or treating thing down right away. She would push to the front of the kids, say "Hiiii!" whenever someone opened the door, grab a piece of candy, and then walk into their house. I had to drag her out of a bunch of houses. Sorry candy-givers! My baby is just too friendly!
And one last trick or treating action shot. The kiddos were so excited this year and, as always, I love watching them experience one of my favorite holidays. Hope you all had a happy Halloween!
