Harvest Festival

On Friday we had our ward harvest festival.  Ava looked forward to this party all week.  She was excited for all of us to get dressed up.  Ava was also excited about eating cornbread.  We had a lot of fun at the party and Ava got a lot of candy at Trunk-or-Treat.

The most beautiful Cinderella in the entire world.  She really did look beautiful and she was so happy.  Ava decided on the Cinderella theme for this year.  She also picked out mine and Rich's costumes

Ava with her fairy godmother.  I made this costume.  It is the first thing I've sown completely by myself using a pattern.  I know it wasn't hard, but it was a big accomplishment for me.

Ava with Jaq the mouse.  Unfortunately for Rich I didn't have much time for his costume, but it worked.

Ava excited to eat cornbread and cheese.  She picked out 2 kinds of cornbread.

Costume Parade.  You can see her glass slippers as she carefully walks like a princess across the stage.

Ava at the fishing booth.  Ava swung the fishing pole so hard she almost took off Sister Ensign's head behind the water.

Ava pumpkin bowling.  It took her a few pumpkins but she finally got them all down.

The big hit of the night was Whack-a-Priest.  The line was out the door.  Ava loved it.  She was funny because she was so gentle.

Ava won this delicious wormy cupcake at the cake walk.  She gobbled down the gummy worms right away.

There was a photo both, so we were able to get a nice family picture.  I'm grateful to Brother Jensen for volunteering to take pictures.
