We celebrated this Halloween with lots of pumpkins and Brenna made the cutest one of them all! 
As we prepared for Halloween this year, we allowed Brenna some input regarding her costume. We went through a number of suggestions (witch, princess, fairy, puppy, etc.) and the one that she kept coming back to was pumpkin. I was glad because I figure that I can only dress her as a pumpkin while she's little and still get away with it - and I found a bargain costume that was brand new! She looked precious and got to wear it to her daycare's fall party, to school on the day of Halloween and of course - to go trick or treating. She did visit a few houses and really got the jist of the whole trick-or-treating thing pretty quickly. She wasn't too shy to go up to the door, say the magic words and get CANDY! We got to walk through the neighborhood with our friends/neighbors which also made it easier for her - she had some friends to model after and learned quickly.

Earlier in the week we carved our jack-o-lantern. Daddy had the great idea of using Brenna's hands as a template for the eyes to the j-o-l and it turned out really cool! By now with all the weathering of the pumpkin insides, it looks like she had only 3 fingers, but that night it looked really good! Brenna enjoyed the carving part too - she got to help dig out the pumpkin guts and make a mess on the table.

Brenna is way cute as a pumpkin! It's even cuter that she chose her costume - and I love the hands in the jack-o-lantern!
