Cruella Deville...

This year was the BEST Halloween yet! Finnley is at the greatest age, and it is so exciting to see her experience Halloween and take everything in. We wanted her to have the best possible Halloween, and I think we succeeded! We started out at our Ward Trunk-or-Treat. We went with the 101 Dalmatians theme (our car was even covered in dots). Since there isn't a high demand for toddler Cruella Deville costumes, I decided I'd put my new sewing machine to good use and make our costumes this year. After a lot of unstitching and starting over I finally finished. Whew!
After the Trunk-or-Treat we headed to Old Town Pasadena for some pizza and a free tres small at our FAVORITE, 21 Flavors. Then, we headed over to the "big homes" to get "the good stuff"! We trick-or-treated at the "Father of the Bride" house, and a few others. It was seriously a blast. I loved seeing Finnley run up to the doors, pick her candy, say Happy Halloween, and run onto the next one. She was pooped out by the end of the night. We were carrying her and her bag of candy. I think that means it was successful! All in all, it was the best Halloween yet!
