I figured since it is her very first Halloween ever, she deserves her very own blog post!

The evening of Halloween gets kinda crazy, so I wanted to put her in her costume a few days early to get some pics of her.
And oh my.
Oh my my my!
Liv picked out her costume and the first time we saw her in it, I think we all got a tooth ache.
On account of how sweet she is and all!
I think just she might be the cutest sock monkey in all of the kingdom.
Jude so wanted to get in the pictures. Below, he is actually telling her the part about how when they go to the houses, the people actually give them candy. By the look on her face, I think she's starting to comprehend the whole concept.
PS-Tell me pretty please it's not bad to dress my other little Asian sweeties in Asian themed costumes. They are consumed with all things Milan and Ninja right now.
Linking up this week with Sunday Snapshot, Sunday Best, Simple Things Sunday, and Weekly Top Shot. Head over to see some wonderful and inspirational shots!
Of course its not bad! Besides, ninjas are all the rage these days!
ReplyDeleteI can't think of anything wrong with anything wrong with it either. Especially since they are Asian and all. But there seems to always be another slant in the I'm-raising-an-interracial-family world to think about. For the life of me I can't think of what it would be.
DeleteThx M!

So dang Sweet!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, what a darling costume! Great shots, I'm envying your warm weather, we have a few inches of snow right now! Thank you so much for linking up with the simple things this week. :) Rebecca
ReplyDeleteI'm envying your snow! I know that sounds weird coming from the land of green grass and sunshine. But I do miss the seasons. I guess the grass is alwasy greener on the other side of the fence, which must be where I live since the grass is truely green in these parts. hehe!

Omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg. :P Sorry, but this is cute overload and it makes me hyper. :)) She is so adorable. And that tail, OMG!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd why would it be wrong to dress Asian children in Asian outfits, lol? Don't mind if some people stare. Unfortunately it happens, but you just keep rockin'it. I have found this post on a very lovely lady's blog and I enjoyed it so much. Maybe you know it too, but in case you don't, here's the link to the post: http://ashleyannphotography.com/blog/2012/10/15/just-rock-it/ The comments were nice to read too. So many stories.
I can't wait to see their costumes! I hope you will post photos of ALL your kids in their costumes.
Oh I ADORE Ashley Ann! I've taken her class, and we've "talked" many times via emails. She is an inspiration on many fronts! Yes, that post is WONDERFUL! Everyone should read it.

Hi! i'm stopping by from the Simple as That link-up! Those are just adorable costumes! I'm pregnant with my first child, so seeing all of these precious kids dressed up is making me excited for next year!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your baby, Jessica! What a special time for you!
DeleteHoly cow...that is almost more cuteness than I can stand!! Adorable!!
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable little sock monkey! Love her choice of costume!
ReplyDeleteShe's absolutely adorable as a sock monkey. Love those eyes.
ReplyDeleteI think kids should be whatever they want to be. This year I'm expecting we're going to be seeing a whole lot of ninjas!
Thanks for sharing with YSB this week.
She is a darling sock monkey...she will really appreciate that she received her own post when she is older.
ReplyDeleteLaurie
Your pictures are great!!! What a cutie!
ReplyDeleteHave I ever told you that monkeys are one of my absolute favorite animals?!?!?! I wish I could reach out and hug her she is so stinking cute!
ReplyDeleteAs for Tess and Jude, if they are liking ninjas and Mulan, COOL.. You aren't trying to ridicule or put down anything. I have several friends of varying ethnicity that have dressed as both "white" characters, and as characters from other cultures. I think my favorite was a friend who dressed as Jasmine from Aladdin (and she looked beautiful, I could NEVER pull that off)...
Cutest sock monkey in the kingdom and in the history of the world!!! Honestly, you must forward one of these photos to the company/store who sells them. You might get a modeling contract out of it!
ReplyDeleteThrifty me bought in on ebay. But maybe I can figure out who sells them! I like that idea!
DeleteOkay, she is the absolute cutest sock monkey EVER!!!!! Period. The end.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I agree with Michelle. Modeling contract, for sure.
What an adorable little sock monkey!
ReplyDeleteLove your little sock money's pictures! They just made me smile:)
