The Royal Ball (also known as Halloween)


Well, Halloween was in the works for practically a year around these parts. Rylee had a barely walked in the door last Halloween before deciding she wanted to be Cinderella the next Halloween and she wanted Liam to be her Prince Charming. You'd think a kid would forget that over the course of the year or change her mind, wouldn't you? Well, you'd think wrong. So, Mommy went to great lengths to put these costumes together. They turned out really well. And there was lots of Halloween fun along the way. 

There were hayrides....

 And  punkin painting...


(I'd like to point out that Liam, who I wasn't even sure would know what to do during this activity, was super into it to the point where he clearly used every color...vigorously... and cried when we were done)


After taking a year off, we revisited the Zoo Halloween Party and boy was it awesome!

 Minions

Cinderella with... Cinderella! Who wore it best? You decide

 Some of our favorites were there (Liam is off camera, very excited to see them, but keeping a safe distance nonetheless)




 Then we were off on the old Huber's tractor to choose this year's pumpkins!
"This one's too heavy... let's keep looking!"


Back on the hunt!


 There was everybody's favorite... dirt cake!


 There were free fall festivals galore! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

 And barn slides built for 3...

 Outdoor Casper viewings...


 Fun fall DIY treats...

 And cupcakes!



There was Halloween cookie making (I have the cutest sous chefs)

And enough pumpkin guts to go around!

(Again, Liam VERY into pumpkin guts)



And the annual Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown viewing, of course


At long last, Cinderella and Price Charming were off to the Royal Ball!

 Daddy even took the night off to chaperone!

 It was freezing and sleeting, but that didn't stop these professionals.

Cruising in their Coach




 





 And thawing out with some warm Pear Cinnamon Cider  
Stay tuned for next year... she's already decided she wants to be Belle from Beauty and the Beast. We'll see if that one sticks all year long like this one did! :-)
