happy halloween

the only thing better than dressing up for Halloween is dressing somebody else up

believe it or not, she really did like the costume i made her..... well, at least for about 10 minutes. the best part was watching her stare at herself in the mirror in disbelief.

and then we both stared in disbelief when we saw dad.
at our ward party all the older hawaiian ladies kept coming up to me and saying, "is dat your husband in da muumuu?" i'm not sure if they thought it was funny or if they were offended because he looked just like them. i was rolling all night.

(and just for the record i had a totally sweet boyscout costume with the hat and the shirt decorated with all the awards and everything.... but never got anyone to take my photo. boo.)


i love that little face and cody's big hand to help hold her up.
halloween is the best.... nothing but listening to the monster mash, watching scary movies and eating candy (and hopefully some doughnuts) all day long.
i miss my family and friends so much during this holiday. i hope you all have a spooky day.

this is the cutest thing i have ever seen. i'm thinking about printing out these pics and blowing them up to 16x20 and hanging them on my wall. i want to just squeeze that little strawberry and see her darling smile. and cody is one sweet "auntie"- did you get confused which lady-in-a-muumuu to go home with? love you.

Lindsay said...

i love love love june's strawberry costume! she looked so cute and squishy the other night. and that pic of cody in the muumuu is hilarious. he totally nailed the old hawaiian lady look.

Janelle said...

Wow, those sewing lessons at Michi's sure payed off..... remember the days of making pillow cases and draw string bags?

Really stinkin' adorable Lori. There's something about putting a kid in a costume with a little hat on that just is the cutest. Love Cody's ability to embarass himself. Sweet.
