Not for Halloween

Audrey had a wonderful surprise when she woke up from nap today! Aunt Jenn and Nanny sent her a Princess Belle dress complete with crown and light up shoes. Audrey has really gotten into dress-up (thanks to her new friend Noelle), so Santa has planned to bring her lots of dress-up clothes for Christmas this year.... especially princess dresses. This is not her Halloween costume. You'll get to see that on Saturday night.

The Pumpkin Patch

My oldest niece and nephew, my sister and my mom are all here visiting, so we took the kids to the pumpkin patch at Cox Farms. Included in your admission were fresh apples and cider, and a free pumpkin. I think this was the first time Audrey ate from a whole apple.

School Picture Day

Tuesday was Picture Day at Audrey's school, so of course we searched long and hard for the perfect outfit. In fact, I spotted this dress while shopping with my mother-in-law before school even started. I originally wanted it to be her first day of school outfit, but I'm glad we couldn't find it in her size then because it was perfect for picture day. After I searched about 5 stores that sell Carter's clothing in my area, my friend Cindy found it while vacationing in Williamsburg. (Yes, I had a few people on the lookout.) Audrey's teachers said he wasn't happy to have her picture taken, but that they did get her to smile and that there were some sweet ones without smiles. I can't wait to see what they look like, but the ones I took are AMAZING!!

This one with Nana is silly, but I wanted you to see the whole outfit.
