Sunny’s entire Halloween costume centers around a red fleece cape gifted to her by my mother. Little Red Riding Hood was the obvious character for the holiday. The best thing about this costume is that we were able to pull together the entire look from her existing wardrobe.

Sadly, due to Sandy, Addison’s preschool had to cancel their annual Halloween parade scheduled for yesterday morning. Knowing that the holiday might be a tad disrupted by inclement weather, we dressed up this weekend and snapped some pictures in the woods across the street from our house. Just like the storybook intended.

Boy, she sure did look the part. And she delighted in selecting “food” from her play kitchen to take to Grandma’s House. Plush eggplant? Naturally.

I even learned how to execute the crown braid as it somehow seemed appropriate for the role. Also, I’m not going to pretend like the 13 year old girl in me doesn’t delight in styling Sunny’s unbelievable head of hair. Mama = jealous.

Tomorrow we’ll unveil Courtland’s wolf. More adorable than ferocious, but all the better to snuggle with, my dears! And here’s how you can get Sunny’s look!
