My sweet Belle |
Halloween was another great day in the life of this five year old! She began her day with a party at her school. She wore her Ariel costume, and I hear from her teachers that she had a super time. She came home with a huge goody bag and a darling jack-o-lantern all cut out and glued she made all by herself! CUTE!
After being home for 45 minutes, we were off to Titi and Belen's. It was a great night filled with family, friends, food, and candy! After eating a smidge of dinner, Emily got all princessed up as Belle, posed for some photos with her BFF/cousin Belen, and we all headed out into the cold, yet rain free night!
Emily had fun with Belen, Isabel, Titi, JuJu, Gina, and Mommy while Uncle Larry, Miya, and Melissa handed out the candy back at the house!
My little trooper made it for over an hour going house to house. Only one house was too scary to approach, and just a couple scary masks frightened her, but other than that, she did FANTASTIC! Her candy bucket must weigh at least five pounds, and she only gave up carrying it around the last 20 minutes or so, but still carried it up to each door. The three girls took turns knocking, and believe me, if the other two forgot, Miss Emily was on her toes reminding them whose turn it was!
Back at the house, candy was looked through, treats were had, pajamas put on, and gear gathered up.
We were home by 8:30, but then had to READ her new book from Belen, and open her other gifts from Grammy Wanda, Belen, and JuJu! I am the luckiest woman in the world to have so many people who love and care about my girl! She can't wait to have her raisins, Cheetos, and cheese/bread sticks for snacks...THANK YOU Grammy Wanda! Loves her new books, markers, and straws from Belen, THANK YOU! And of course adores her new book from JuJu!
Overall, I think the night was a huge success! She is sound asleep and it is 9:45, and now Mommy is going to get on her jammies, correct some school papers, and get ready for another day tomorrow!
Enjoy seeing the sweet princess!
