Halloween

October was slightly less fun than normal since mom wasn't on top of her game, but we still managed to have fun!  And trick-or-treating with Van was possibly the highlight of my entire year.  I've never seen such glee in anyone's eyes!  That kid loves life!

Any guesses?  She's Mulan - the Mulan in armor disguised as "Ping".  Mulan is her favorite because she's tough and goes on cool adventures.  And my mom made her costume.  In like 24 hours.  She's amazing.  Emery saw it when it was done and said - "Grandma!  How did you DO that?"
