FBC Euless Trunkfest 2008

Saturday, November 1, 2008






Kate had so much fun last night at our church's Trunkfest! She wore a "pretty, pretty princess fairy" outfit (Kate's words) and loved every second of it. Here is a quick run-down on the pictures which pretty much sums up our evening:
1) We saw Avery dressed as Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz - when Avery walked up to say hi, Kate just stared at her for a few seconds... she didn't recognize her sweet friend under that wig! Even once she knew it was her she still stared at her with curiosity.
2) Seeing Granmomma: We picked out Kate's fabric and costume pattern, but Granmomma did the real magic of sewing my costume together for us. All night long people kept saying how pretty Kate's costume was - an older lady even asked Cody if she could take a picture of Kate since she was so cute!
3) We found Hudson's parent's trunk and hung out with them for a bit. Hudson was dressed as a boxer and Kate stared him down just like she did Avery! She loves to dress up these days, but she wasn't sure why everyone else was dressed up too!!
4) Cody let Kate sit on his shoulders to watch the children's choir perform. I was having a hard time getting her up high enough to see the children sing over the people in front of us, but when Daddy came around the corner at the perfect moment our temporary problem was solved!
5) Even though this was our third year to attend Trunkfest, this was the first year we let Kate go around to get candy. She's been talking about getting candy in her pumpkin for WEEKS and she was SO EXCITED! We took her by a few trunks and when she was done I let her pick a piece to eat. She stared into her pumpkin for the longest time and finally picked a Twizzler. She savored each bite!
6) Kate posing for her annual picture with Aunt Cassandra - we have a picture of Kate in her chicken suit from the first year, in last year's Texas Tech cheerleading uniform, and now as a "pretty, pretty princess fairy"!
7) We took a turn in the preschool trunk near the end of the night and helped Granmomma pass out candy and information on the preschool program - this may have been her favorite thing of the night (next to enjoying a bite of candy!).

Now the countdown to Christmas really begins!!

My favorite part of Trunkfest is getting my picture made with Kate. I'm glad we have this fun tradition going.
