Check back here periodically for updates and pictures of Abby and her proud parents.
Abby got an awesome Halloween package from her cousin Ally! It included an Elmo Candy Basket...
Abby preferred to wear it as a hat. She did this all on her own. No prompting from Daddy. It was "so cute" as Abby likes to say. Abby was a dragon for Halloween. A couple of people were concerned when I told them this over the phone. Now you can see how cute our dragons are here in Henderson. There was also a huge process of us getting a costume. Halloween costumes come out in the store in August. I am not buying a costume in August...there is still two more months before the holiday. So we waited, until two weeks ago. And then every costume that I picked up in the store, Abby would say Put it Back. We went through about 8 costumes before I decided forget it. So the next week we went back and it started out the same way. Until we tried on a tiger outfit. She was going to be Tigger ( who sounds a lot like a dragon by the way). This lasted about 30 seconds until she saw the Dragon outfit...and then it was all over. She wore it around the store for a long time before I finally talked her out of it. I have to admit that I think the dragon is cuter than the tiger, but I didn't think so at the time.
The best part of this costume was when you asked Abby what a Dragon says, and she replies with a "ROARRRR" It is worth it everytime you ask her. She came out to camp on Halloween to see the kids dressed up in their costumes. She also got to hang out with her good friend Scooby-Doo (aka. Dakota)!
I hope everyone had a good Halloween. For those of you that worked at camp, I will let you know that I was a Great Big Moose for Halloween, I had a "my name is..." sticker that said FRED and my Coffee Cup got a label that said "Juice" on it. For those of you that don't work at camp...you have no idea what I am talking about.
