"Apy Alowee"

Marley was Tinkerbell for Halloween this year. Daddy really wanted her to be something scary but after Disney Princess on Ice a Tinkerbell obsession ensued and he gave in. She had the best costume, it glowed in the dark and the wings both glowed and had flashing lights. This didn't make for the best pictures but it was still stinkin' cute. We got quite a few compliments on her costume and on our little fairy in general.

We started the afternoon at Vinton Baptist Church for Trunk or Treat. One of the guys Brett works with has invited us to attend services in the past and he and his wife invited us this afternoon for the festivities. We really had a great time!

A shot from behind, they really are the best wings!

There is a little medallion on the front of her costume with Tinkerbell on it and she couldn't stop playing with it. She would show it to anyone who would pay attention.

A little posing

Perhaps a little flying, courtesy of Jeff. All fairies fly you know (unless of course their wings are wet, duh)

Happy girl on the way back home for the Fincastle Children's parade.

For Halloween our itty, bitty little town of Fincastle closes down one of the main residential streets and has a parade. No need to do anything but participate and trick or treat at the houses along the way, but if you're so inclined to donate a bag of candy you can walk through one house and get handfuls and handfuls of candy...which of course we did...for Marley of course. Her Tinkerbell candy bag was pretty fully by the time we were done!

A shot with Mommy...why does she take such nice pictures with Daddy?

She just glowed

And then I tried to get her to pose on a rock during our walk home

Yeah, that worked out well

Once we got home Marley Skyped with Pop and Uncle Chris and was eager to show them her goggles. (Yes we started mommy and me swim lessons yesterday, no she did not wear the goggles, but she did represent in TYR!)

So that's that. We hope everyone had a happy and safe Halloween. AND, if you happen to see Marley's Aunt Sarah ask her about her recipe for Venison Stew!
