Trick-or-Treat

We took Emma trick-or-treating at the Tacoma Mall since it's at least twice as big as our local mall.

The fairy and her mommy.

We passed by Build-A-Bear and she insisted on going in to see the "bea bea" (bear bear).

So of course we ended up getting her one. She picked a bunny rabbit.

Watching her bunny come to life...so to speak.

Stuffing her baby.

Giving the bunny a squeeze to see if it's soft enough for her.

Bathing her baby.

Registering and getting the birth certificate. We decided to name it "Bunny Baby".

Later That Night

We went to a Halloween party thrown by one of the MSC officers (Michelle on the left). The lady bug is Anna Bella, the monkey is Ezra and of course, Emma the fairy.

Family picture time.

She had fun with all of Anna Bella's toys.

Picture with Ezra.

Early Halloween

We were getting ready for a storytime and trick-or-treat at the local library.

She cried because I didn't let her have my baking candy.

My little fairy.

She was having a ball with her fairy wand.

Such a girly girl.

The dancing fairy.

She is so cute!

Twirling around in her pretty skirt from Soy Yee.

Then she wore the Eeyore costume as her coat. At first, I wanted to change her back into the fairy outfit but it wasn't too warm at the library so she stayed as Eeyore. Besides, everyone loved Eeyore!

Storytime.

I know what you are going to ask. So no, Snow White was not a man.

Can you spot her?

There she is!

Waiting for their treats.

Her first treat was a Halloween pencil.

She was in candy heaven.

My little Eeyore.

Checking what she got so far.

More candy.

Minnie Mouse works at the check-out desk.

"Hmm...how can I distract mommy so I can sneak one in my mouth?"

Outside of the library.

Purple Pumpkin

This picture is kind of scary since it looks like she has no hand.

The cupcakes I made for a potluck at Chevo's work.


Dancing with her purple pumpkin.

Emma's Photography Porfolio

She took my camera and went trigger happy.

Her teddy bear seemed to be a big part of her portfolio.

Here he goes again.

Now a close-up...

Emma The Dancing Queen

She was actually trying to copy Chevo's dance move (outside of the camera).

Even when she's on the trike!

Choo Choo Train

"Thank you, MiMi, for this beautiful choo choo train shirt!"

She loves Thomas the tank engine.

Little Miss Double-Chin.

Bad Hair Day

Luckily, she doesn't work.

Anpanman!

Whenever she sees my Blackberry, she'd say "tai Anpanman" (translation - watch Anpanman). Anpanman is a Japanese toddler cartoon.

It keeps her entertained for a few minutes.

"Hi, I am hi-tech!"

Bath Time

Having fun in Steve's and Lisa's master bathroom's huge jet tub.

She loved the bubbles.

Anthony's (Lisa's nephew) master work.

Also his work.

My Melodie was throwing a pose.

Emma and Karrie were the only ones who had been spared from Anthony's bubble faces.

The girls' payback.

The vampire's hair had turned gray and puffy.

Karrie's hair and face were bubble-free.

Can't believe Stephanie's already 9 years old.

Stephanie was taking a picture of Emma with the waterproof camera.

I love the symmetry of this picture (except Stephanie was kneeling and Emma was standing up).

Playing with her bowl.

Emma was wondering why Anthony had a washcloth and bowl on his head.

Woman-made waterfall.

"Hmm...what's going on over there?"

Wesley's 'pew pew'.

He was probably jealous of how much fun they were having.

She was really mesmerized by the bubbles.

"Hi!"

"This is fun!"

The last 2 left in the tub.

Since she was the visitor, she got to get out last.

"Hehe...all to myself."

It took a while plus some struggle, crying and temper tantrum to get her out of the tub.
