There are plenty of times when "angel" is not the term I would use to describe Eliana. But today was not one of those days. A package arrived on our doorstep on Saturday; in it was Eliana's Halloween costume, compliments of Uncle Robert. Today it made its debut.
Today, Eliana was an angel.
After she got her hair done, curled, and glittered, got her face made up all sparkly, donned her angel dress, halo, and wings, I took some pictures. I'm her mom. It's my job. (Her dad's job, by the way, is to take her door-to-door on this particular night every year.) So here are some pictures...
(Check out the wing span! She took out more than a few kids with those babies today.)
(Check out the detail in those wings!! - and ignore the ugly box in the background...)
Yep, she's an angel.
The festivities started in Downtown Bozeman, where we went trick-or-treating before passing out some candy of our own with some other Mary Kay consultants. Downtown is a madhouse on Halloween, but if you start trick-or-treating at 3, when it officially starts, it's much easier to navigate without the crowds!
Eliana wanted to talk to everyone, and she got complimented on her angel wings everywhere we turned. She had random people on the street taking pictures of her. She even got interviewed for the evening news.
Here's what she came home with...
After spending some time downtown, we came home, had some dinner, handed out some candy to the neighborhood kids, and then Leif and Eliana headed out to make the circuit around the neighborhood. After a while, they came home with this...
... A pile of candy and a one tired girl.
We separated out the milk-candy from the candy Eliana can eat, then she picked one candy to eat before bed. Oddly enough, she chose the one package of fruit snacks she got as her candy for tonight.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!
