Halloween

She wore it.

Her Snow White costume.

And it made my night!

It was better than any piece of chocolate I stole out of her trick or treat bucket. :)

Marc and I were so concerened that Halloween was going to be a bust this year. We bought her the Snow White garb over a month ago at The Disney Store. We brought it home and she seemed so excited. That is, until we tried to put it on her. She flipped out. She loved the shoes, but the dress was a no-go. We did everything we could to excite her. We bought her a Snow White barbie, let her watch Snow White on video at Grandma's house (dang Disney vault, can't buy the DVD anywhere!), took her to Disneyland and waited in line at the Princess Faire to meet her, EVERYTHING. Still, the day before Disneyland I was trying to teach her how to trick or treat with her costume, and she would not cooperate by wearing it.

My last hope was seeing other kids dressed up and maybe some help from my mom, whom Montana adores. I was ecstatic when she kept it on, happily. And she looked gorgeous.
I even had to do her make-up...I just couldn't resist.

We had a fun Halloween. It was the first one since we've been married that we've been home for trick or treaters. We normally go to Marc's parents, but now that we live up here, we decided to stay home and trick or treat in our neighborhood and pass out candy. Grandma and Grandpa Petersen decided that since all their grandkids live up here, that they would bring my younger twin sisters up to trick or treat with Montana and my sisters kids. To add to the party, my cousin that was in town from Utah and his family, joined us...as well as my cousin Brittany and her boys who live around the corner. Coincidentally, her sister, my cousin Sharsten (Brittany's sister) was in town with her daughter Eden, and we ended up with quite the little Halloween party at our house. We had soups and corn bread and cookies and brownies before venturing off into the rain for some soggy trick or treating. It was still a lot of fun, even though it was raining and in our neighborhood we had to trek up and down hill from house to house.

All the kids at our house...Up top is Christian, Brittany's middle boy as a Star Trooper (I think)... then from left to right, Ashton, Brittany's youngest, as Buzz#1, and then Braeden as Buzz#2, Eden as Cingeralla, Andalyn the kitty, Montana as Snow White, and Ryan as a dragon.

And then of course here is Braeton, Brittany's oldest. He is dressed as "Halloween Man". :)

Daddy taking the princess around Trick or Treating. She did so well. She said, "Trick or Treat" at every house. And "Thank you so much" after they'd give her candy.

And here are few more "proud parent pics" of our little princess...
