Butterfly Kisses

I had no idea what Abby should be for Halloween. It was too late to order anything, and there were only four different options for costumes 12-24 months. All the costumes had bare arms and legs, which is dang cold for this time of year.

Thankfully, my friend Kim sent this awesome outfit for Abby when she was just a wee babe. I'd packed it away for a later time and forgot about it. I was thrilled that it fit when I came across it last week. Totally adorable. The best part is, I'm sure Kim doesn't even remember this outfit. She'll be as surprised as Abby was to see it. Kim has saved the day on more occasions than she even knows.

Here were a few shots before the big outing....

Abby thought is was hilarious to give daddy kisses while "flying" in the tree. She is such a daddy's girl.

Even the strongest butterflies get tired from all that flying. Good thing her dad was here to give her a piggyback ride.

Our friend Lou does holidays like no other. He's to the far right scaring the crap out of Japanese trick or treaters.

Abby had to take a time out by these awesome pumpkins.

I was pretty hardcore about her not eating the candy, but she did manage to sneak a chocolate bar and some suckers by me. I couldn't resist her hilarious grin.

Here she is getting some flying lessons with dad.
