Halloween 2011

Hannah Kate was a ballerina this year. I originally was going to make her costume but the birthday festivities took over. Luckily I found a tiny leotard at target and I couldn't pass it up. I also had to get a picture of her in the pumpkin. I saw the idea on The Mom Creative a long time ago and was excited to try it one day (admittedly she is bigger, but I still wanted to try it). She thought she was big stuff because she could stand up in it!

She initially was excited and then couldn't get over the goo factor. I love how the frosting looks like lipstick.

The aftermath :)

Overall I think her party was a success. I tried to stick with the colors that are also in her room so we could use the decorations again. We had so much fun with family and getting to hang out. HK even got to meet some cousins for the first time and they were so cute together. Happy birthday baby girl!!
