Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo!

Eliza was an adorable little princess for Halloween this year. Although she loved twirling in her pretty dress, she made it known that not all princesses enjoy wearing a crown.

This is Eliza giving me her death stare for placing a crown upon her head.

After much coaxing (and the promise of candy), Nathan and I finally convinced Eliza to wear the crown for a few minutes so we could quickly take some pictures.

This is her saying she is "all ready" to go get some treats!

This dress was totally worth the 50 cents I paid for it at a yard sale!

She gave us a few smiles and then promptly threw the crown on the ground. I was excited we managed to get a few cute pictures before the crown meltdown. She was so excited to dress up and go out, and I couldn't help but smile as I watched her dance around in her costume. She was so happy!

Nathan and I then took her to the church a block away for the trunk-or-treat party. I stayed in the car, while they walked around to the various trunks. Nathan taught her how to say "trick-or-treat," and she would excitedly yell either "trick" or "treat" to the various people giving away candy.

After twenty minutes, she was pretty exhausted. This is the face of a child who is crashing after an afternoon of excitement.

I was already overdoing it by being out of bed, so we were fine with coming home early. It was a great  evening with our little princess!


p.s. I always thought the Fairy Godmother was saying, "Bippity-boppity-boo." Nathan was nice enough to correct me. How did I miss that? I've seen Cinderella a million times!
