Happy Halloween

Emberly is a grade-A scaredy cat, especially of "decorations that talk," so we planned to just take her trick-or-treating at the mall where she was less likely to be frightened. But when we were on our way home, she saw kids in our neighborhood walking around in the dark, she decided that she wanted to, too. She did well! She squeezed my hand pretty hard and tried to get behind me a few times, but there was no screaming in horror, or terrified crying...

She was a "scary" pirate at a party last weekend and wanted to be a princess on Halloween so she donned her Princess Tianna costume from her Auntie Jim. And then Damon's aunt completed the look with the "princess" headband.
