Halloweenie 2011

Halloween is probably one of my favorite holidays. Who doesn't like dressing up & acting like a fool, while its acceptable, one night out of the year? I do! Lilianna has known for months what she wanted to be this year. Not Perry The Platypus again, dang-it, nor some other ideas I had. She was determined to be a Princess, her favorite Princess Snow White. It makes sense since she is a self-proclaimed princess ;) So I went along for the ride. My awesome mom made her extraordinary costume, seriously  she did a phenomenal job! And I'm so glad my mom volunteered to make it, because it was above & beyond my basic skill levels as a seamstress. Also, it is a tradition for Ellis' Girls to be Snow White. I was Snow White when I was 7, my sister Tia was Snow White as well (she was the more authentic looking out of us two, since she had yet developed the afro!), and now my baby girl was carrying the tradition on. She was such a cute Princess, glittery light-up heels & all.  I decided to join in on the fun & be the Evil Queen. We had a great time, being the Snow White duo.

Friday we invited some friends to our ward Trunk-or-Treat.....seriously never been more disappointed in my life.. Vegas has yet to do a great Trunk-or-Treat & some folks missed the memo on not wearing masks to church functions. Lilianna was freaked out! I really did not enjoy that experience.....

Saturday our awesome babysitter invited Lilianna, as well as some other little girls that she watches, over for a Halloween Party. It was seriously the cutest little thing & just love our babysitter for doing that! Lilianna had a blast partying with her little girlfriends.

Monday we were invited to a big block party pot luck in the famous cul de sac. Kids everywhere, awesome food & then off to Trick-or-Treating. We met up with some of her classmates, whom she absolutely adores & went around the neighborhood. This little Miss made bank in the candy department! We also made one last stop in our little neighborhood, to visit the Famous Max the dog. Halloween was a great time this year, minus the weird ward activity & all the creepy mask :)
