Abby received a package from Aunt Jenny and Uncle Dave in the mail today -- It was her Halloween costume!

Jen found the costume at her Babies 'R Us in Indianapolis on Monday. She was kind enough to return to the store where she found it to pick it up for the little monkey and she had Dave mail it out on Tuesday. Uncle Dave doesn't mess around with mail delivery "issues", so we had the costume here BEFORE noon today! WOW! Talk about service! (Thanks Jen and Dave - The check is in the mail!)

Abigail will be going Trick-or-Treating dressed as Elmo this year. The design of the costume is such that it looks like Elmo ate Abby and she is poking her head out of Elmo's mouth for one last look - Pictures to follow. Suffice it to say that Abby LOVES this costume (no surprise!) and she really does look cute enough to eat when she's all dressed up! We had looked for this costume locally, but much to my dismay, I could not find one that was her size. I had given up on the search and Abby decided that she wanted to go as a Princess ("I'm a sister and a princess, Daddy!"). Despite my better efforts and a couple of scouting trips to find the perfect princess costume, I was coming up empty handed for a solution that would not only be cute, but also warm enough to go in search of candied booty.

The Elmo shell is perfect and I can't wait to post our official Halloween 2007 Trick-or-Treat pictures next week (while eating some of that candied booty, of course!).
