Halloween 09; the bride, the cowgirl, and the cheetah

This year for Halloween, the girls were dressed as something very fitting to their character. It just sort of worked out that way.

Kaylyn wanted to be a bride after recently attending her very first wedding of this special couple:). Needless to say, she was inspired at the thought of being a bride! She wore my actual wedding veil that I wore in my wedding. We made her a bouquet out of silk flowers that she chose at Walmart (yes ma'am).

Kaylyn could NOT be a bride without the bouquet toss! Oh, and at the wedding she went to, she practically stared the recipient down who caught the bouquet until she gave it to her. The bouquet sat in a vase for weeks on her dresser.

Laney Rae wanted to be a cowgirl like her daddy. That is what she says all of the time. If we ask her is she wants to be a cowgirl, she always replies,"Yes, I wanna be a cowgirl like daddy!" Ha! How cute! Oh and she wore this outfit to church a few weeks ago too for no apparent reason. Its a multi-use costume. Gotta love that! This is her favorite outfit these days.

Here is Laney Rae saying "Yeeeee Haw!" for her picture.

Ruthie didn't really have a choice in the matter. She dressed up as my little cheetah cub. I've had this costume for years since we've had Kaylyn. But, Ruthie has been the only one that has been able to fit into it right around Halloween.


We had a great low maintenance Halloween. The area churches in Brenham all get together at the fairgrounds and have a big Fall Festival with free food, live music, and fun games for the kiddos. It was a great night!

I didn't get any photos of the actual event though. There were people everywhere and I was busy holding the hands of my wee ones.

Here are a few more pictures of the little misses in their costumes. Enjoy!

Kaylyn is such a great big sister!

Cowgirls don't get any cuter than this!
