A Perfect Day, Or What?

Is there a better Holiday then Halloween? Not if you spend Halloween with the Brown Family, that's for sure! But holidays that end up being this great sometimes take a little magic...or maybe a little pixie dust
 

(Nora Bug saw Tinkerbell on t.v. and ran right up to the screen saying "ohhh, pretty, ahhh, pretty" Tinkerbell it is!)

  

It takes a lot of demanding...'lovely suggesting,' to get that sweet-hunk-of-a-Captain-Hook/Jack Sparrow into his costume so I can get one picture of our coordinating costumes. Unfortunately, we were too lazy to put too much effort into finding a more Captain Hook, less Jack Sparrow wig and hat. And don't even get me started on why I was Peter Pan and not Wendy (Go ahead and look in your local DI or Savers or both for a baby blue night gown and I just dare you to google Wendy Darling costumes. I am pretty sure google did not see the same Peter Pan movie I saw when I was little. Really? There is a huge difference between a baby blue night gown and a baby blue nightie, I promise) So Peter Pan it is. I definitely caused a few eye brows to raise at the local ward trunk-or-treat for my cross dressing stunt. I stand by my costume that night, which was in fact not Peter Pan the boy, but Mary Martin, the woman who played Peter Pan in the original Broadway play. 



(Have you noticed that the majority of the pictures I post of baby girl are her with crazy cheeto or licorice face, that's how we roll)


Our magically busy day started with a trip to good ol' G-ville where we got to see Great Grandma Skidmore and Great Grandma Brown, Grandma Brown, Aunt Kim and the cute Cousins. The little pixie started her trick-or-treat debut with a route around Great Grandma's retirement home. She was a little confused as to why people were giving her candy but she quickly got the hang of it and ended up just walking around holding her hand out to everyone, including those who were visiting their family members. She did say thank you like a little champ though.

Next on our route was Great Grandma Brown's house.

 

Tink, Cinderella, Harry Potter, and a pink fairy take a break and have a snack to recharge those trick-or-treating batteries. Who needs pixie dust when you have skittles?

 

(Look at those super cute cousins!)

After a much too short visit and too long of a drive, me and the cute little fairy princess were back to Layton for the annual Page Family Halloween Party.



 

We were off once again for a little trick-or-treating. This time with a zombie prom queen, 2 zombie hunters, a ninja, little red riding hood, the big bad wolf, a kitty and a pirate ( Not Chris he only put the costume on for the picture at the very end of the night. My Sis-in-law was a pirate) 

 

 

Nora had so much fun running door to door with the cousins. She kept up pretty good, especially with the encouragement of the cousins.

 

 

She did good with scary things. Nothing seemed to faze her, not even blood and guts.

 

 

 Not disgusting food. No pictures of the food, but you remember how we do Halloween. Not the headless horseman...what? A real headless horseman you ask?

 

(Awesome, right? I mean just look at that picture, real horse, no head...awesome!!!)

She really wasn't fazed, until my parents fog machine came on. When she saw the smoke, she ran to my arms as fast as those fairy feet could fly, saying "No, no, no"

 

(This is right before she jumped up and ran to me. She is eyeing that fog as it gets closer and closer)


We ended the night by shoving our faces with candy. Tinkerbell loved the suckers best!

A little icing on the cake was a sugar induced, tackle Grandpa because we have more sugar in our systems then our little bodies can handle.

What a great holiday. We did a lot of running around and Peter Pan and Captain Hook were pretty tired by the end of the day. But not too tired to take this little gem of a picture. Chris sure did pick a winner
