All Hallows' Eve Eve

Ryan had Julianna on Halloween again, mostly because Jules REALLY wanted to go trick-or-treating with Aaron. Even though Halloween isn't at the top of my list of Holidays, I was a little bummed. But the afternoon before Halloween we lucked into a Halloween festival at a church down the road from my parents' house. We had the greatest time! We didn't have a costume or anything, but Mimi said,"Let's go to the house and throw something together". That we did. She was a big ole mess, but really cute. Actually we put her in a dress that I wore for Halloween when I was three. I was Little Bo Peep (I'll have to scan a picture at some point), so that's who we told Julianna she was, even though she didn't have any of the accoutrements (most importantly, a staff) that I did. In retrospect, she looks more like Anne of Green Gables than Little Bo Peep! Whatever! Anyway, this festival had hay rides and bouncy houses and tractor-pulled "train" rides for the little ones and trick-or-trunking. We ran into one of Julianna's best little friends so that made it all the more fun! I think it was my best Halloween ever!







By the way, this dress came almost down to my feet when I was 3! Also, yes, those were the only socks I had! And it was chilly and those are the only leggings or tights I had with me. Like I said, she was a big ole mess!!!










Her first of MANY rides on this little train. She would have just stayed on the thing all night if we would have let her!

Checking out her loot!

Here are some of the pictures that Ryan sent me along with the note he sent with them. I hope he doesn't mind me sharing:

Juls had the best time trick or treating, she was so happy and excited the WHOLE time. And I cannot tell you how unbelievably cute, sweet, and adorable she was - absolutely precious. I do believe she was the prettiest little thing I've ever seen in my life, seriously.....

I think it is a kitty?


SOOO cute!






Love it!
