Third Time's a Charm!

Two years in a row Ava was a "Flower Fairy" for Halloween, and she could have been again this year! I ordered this costume when Ava was 5 months old and the size said 6 to 18 months....but my intention was for her to wear it only once! Because it still fit her I was just planning on putting her in the same costume again this year, but Meredith let us borrow an adorable lamb costume of Mary's. I still couldn't resist dressing up Ava again to do a three year comparison. So fun! This year it finally really fits her...I bet it might even fit next year...I sure know how to get my moneys worth out of a costume!! :)

Ava at 5 months old! You can't tell in this pic, but she was pretty chubby.

Ava at 17 months...it was still too big for her. Always running!!!

Ava at 2 years and 5 months. It finally fits!! So sweet!

Farm Fair...Trick or Treat

Our church had their annual "Farm Fair" this past Saturday. It was from 4-6 instead of 6- 8 because of church being the next day, and they needed time to clean up. I liked that it was still light out so the kids could play games outside and enjoy the beautful weather. I also liked that afterwards we could go home eat some pizza and still have time for the kids to go around to a few of our neighborhood friends to trick or treat. I went with them to the Dobbs house next door and then went back to hand out candy, while Eriik took them around the neighborhood. It was a fun night. Alec decided a long time ago that he wanted to be either Spiderman or Batman...it didn't matter which one. Ava got to be an adorable little lamb which was a hand-me-down costume from Mary.

Rachel went as Willma Flinstone...so cute!
