Halloween 2008

We started warming up for Halloween the Sunday before, when we visited the Pasadena Pumpkin Festival at Kidspace.

Valentina and Sophia practice their "trick o' treats"

"Okay wait...is this a PUMPKIN?"

"Like, the kind we eat?"

"I LOOOOVE Pumpkin! Yaaay!"
With Yiayia

With mommyAnd my very faaaavorite! Daddy!

On Halloween, Valentina dressed up as Little Red Riding Hood. Her costume is the same costume that mommy wore when she was her age (and mommy's cousin Maria in Greece wore it before that!). The costume is 30-some years old, and beautifully preserved by Tia Mary in Thessaloniki, who sent it all the way over to us, so Valentina could wear it too.



She wore it to "Mommy and Me Class" with Sophia and Yiayia, in the morning...With our "Mommy and Me" teacher...


And then she wore it again later that night to go trick o' treating with Snow White (Sophia) and our friend, the Bumble Bee (Trinity). "Okay, listen, I did this last year, all you have to do is say 'trick o' treat and people just GIVE you candy!"
