Winter fun with the girls!

Enjoyed a warmer winter day, made a snowman there

Also had fun getting there and back.

More 2014 Halloween Fun

A picture of the costumes at ballet class...mostly princesses and fairies, but Elsie did mix it up (a little) by being a "kitty fairy."  Sylvie photo bombs the shot to run and get a hug from her big-kid friend, A.

Elsie and I spent Halloween afternoon making gourd people and animals.

These were some of our favorites.

Elsie made a nice pumpkin!

Making the rounds...a giraffe (it was warmer than the princess outfit Elsie picked for her), Andy the Wizard, and Belle (with a warm coat).  The unexpectedly cold weather put a damper on our costumes!

We trekked all the way to a friend's house, then went inside to warm up and meet his son for the first time.  Sylvie liked Justin (the boy), but greatly preferred Purr-purr ("Pooper") the cat.  Bilbo Baggins, Teddy, and Bitty Kitty also made appearances, as did Lila the Dog (Elsie's favorite), but Sylvie seems to like the little Persian the best.

We took a quick family photo before we headed home.  We didn't make too many stops on the way- Sylvie decided after just a few houses that "I no like it" when it came to Trick-or-Treating, so she mostly stayed warm under blankets in the wagon.  Both girls enjoyed handing out candy when we got home, though, and Elsie was very impressed by the pile of "garbage" (candy wrappers) she personally produced in one evening!
