Harvest Festival & Halloween

This year for Halloween Ava decided she wanted to be Snow White, so that meant we were dwarfs. Ava decided I would be Dopey and Rich would be grumpy. She thought it was funny that I was Dopey, so I don't know what that means. Ava really got into dressing up this year and was so excited to see us turn into the "seven dwarfs". It made her so happy to be able to dress up for the church trunk-or-treat on Friday and then again on Halloween.

At the church activity there were small carnival games and then trunk-or-treat. Ava played the games and got her face painted. Mostly she enjoyed the truck-or-treat part of the night or should I say all the candy she got. She got way too much candy and has been talking about it ever since. We hear a lot of "I want my candy".

Our Family at the Church Harvest Festival
Ava had her face painted for the first time. She picked a heart (or in her words, "boom-boom").
Ava won this yummy cupcake playing the cake walk.
This was just the beginning of the mess.On Halloween night we didn't do the trick-0r-treat thing. Ava already had enough candy, so we did something a little different. During the day Ava and I made some brownies and we delivered them to a couple of families that have helped us (mainly me) out recently. We still got dressed up and enjoyed the night, but we gave treats instead of getting them.

Ava made such a beautiful Snow White.
Notice she is wearing her Buzz & Woody light-up boots. That is all she wants to wear these days.
Snow White and Dopey.
Snow White and Santa Claus...I mean Grumpy. It was interesting how many people thought Rich was Santa Claus or we were pirates even with Ava standing right next to us. Maybe our costumes weren't that convincing.

I think that your costumes were awesome. I love the look on Ava's face in the cupcake picture.
