Halloween, elephant-style

Halloween 2009 was quite eventful. Keeping in line with her full set of elephant stuffed animals, we decided that Maisie need to don an elephant costume for this years' festivities. And what festivities they were:
-- Dress up storytime on Wednesday at the library with Rina and her neighborhood friends
-- Halloween party Friday with her friends from playgroup (the babies you used to see posted here when Maisie was 3-9 months old, who are now all running around)
-- Neighorhood block party on Halloween eve with all of our new neighbors

Maisie loved her costume. Well - she loved hugging it and carrying it around - not so much wearing it. But we got some good pictures anyway:

Dancing and clapping at the library:

Posing and not too sure about it:

I can hear it now...MMOOOMMM get me out of this costume:

The whole family back from the block party, and FINALLY, a smile:

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
