Halloween 2011

Ruby had several halloween events to try out her various costume options.

For the Piedmont halloween parade Ruby couldn't decide between being DJ Lance or a kitty, (mommy was

a kitty and Daddy was DJ Lance) so the bottom half of her was DJ Lance and her top half was a kitty. There were so many dads there dressed as DJ lance that Paul actually blended in with his bright orange costume!

Then at Fairyland Ruby wanted Paul to be DJ Lance again. She and I would be his hula girls. The other kids at Fairyland treated Paul like a celebrity. They were so excited to see DJ Lance! They screamed and waved and several families took pictures with him. One child asked if Paul was real or pretend.

Then on actual Halloween Ruby dressed as DJ Lance and got in full dancing and singing character for some mini trick-or-treating in the afternoon with her daycare. They gathered on the steps to sing songs (see the video) and then went all together to a few houses on the block. It was really fun when the parents arrived at 4:00 and all the kids rushed to get into their costumes together.

In the evening Ruby really enjoyed handing out candy to the trick-or-treaters. We saw a few neighborhood friends. Ruby's older friend, Aaron (8yrs) was a vampire. Ruby thought he looked a little too scary. He was very chivalrous to take his scary teeth out so she could relax. Ruby handed out candy at Aaron's house too.

Ruby's friend Niko was a car from the cars movie, Ava was a fairy, Kailey was ladybug girl, Clara was a bee and Aurora was Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz (no one knows who that is yet).
