Princess Dana

 As I went through recent pictures, I stumbled across these of Dana.  They perfectly convey her love of accessories and clothing.  I don't know where this personality trait came from but this girl  definitely has an opinion about what she will and will NOT wear.  Most of all, she loves to wear dresses.  It still boggles my mind but it's cute (sometimes) and certainly reminds us that she is a unique individual! 

Halloween!

 At long last here are a few photos from Halloween.  The girls were so excited about trick or treating that it was impossible to get them to stand still or sit still for a photo. These at least give you a sense of what Jaq the mouse looked like with his friend Cinderella!
(ps. the 'balloon' came from the friendly doctor at the Emergency Room!)
 We spend a lot of time talking up the Cinderella costume as she made a lot of noise about wanting to be a baby for Halloween.  Since we've spent the last 2 years of her life trying to get her out of a baby phase we were really hesitant to encourage a baby costume.  So instead, we put her in a Cinderella dress, which she loved because she LOVES dresses, and hoped for the best. At one point she started tugging at the dress and I was afraid it was coming off before we even got out the door, but luckily, with a little distraction and talk of trick or treating, no major crisis hit!
 Take 1 - and I'm the only one looking at the camera.  Dana and her creative method for wearing a crown.
 Take 2 - not much better. Oh well, you get the idea.
 House number 1!
 Full on running from house to house! They had a blast.  Dana walked nearly the entire hour that we were trick or treating.  She loved it!
 Back at home, enjoying a lollipop and checking out Uncle Ron's pics from England!
