Happy Halloween!

Well, Halloween was not that eventful for us, seeing as Aliyah is a little too young to participate in all of the festivities, but I did get to make her a super cute Halloween costume! She looked amazing in my opinion, and we got to show her off at our ward Halloween party.
So, for her costume, I decided she was going to be a peacock. Seemed like a great idea, until I put the costume on her. I failed to remember that Aliyah likes to put absolutely anything she can get her hands on straight into her mouth. Needless to say, being covered in feathers was not the ideal situation for her. Within 5 minutes of putting her costume on, our living room floor was covered in blue feathers. We continued to leave a trail of feathers in our wake the entire night. In order to keep her from eating the feathers, we ended up having to put a bib on her and some mittens. They detracted a little from the look, but seemed like the best thing to do. So although her costume was a bit of a hassle, it was all worth it for the cute pics!
One thing I did want to do this Halloween was take Aliyah to a pumpkin patch. Unfortunately we never made it, but I survived the missed picture opportunity. It was probably for the better, I think Aliyah gets tired of posing for Mommy's photo shoots. :) We'll do it next year for sure!
For actual Halloween, we headed down to my parents' house to celebrate my mom's birthday. We enjoyed a nice dinner and cake, and Aliyah got to see her great-grandma again! All in all, I think it was a pretty good holiday.
