Costume Night!

I remember playing dress-ups as a little girl. Perhaps it is the drama queen in me, but it was always one of my most favorite things to do. I remember scarf or pom pom wigs and my mom's old bridesmaid dresses. I am blown away by the options that are available to little girls now. Just walk down any little girl aisle in a Target toy section, and you will see what I mean. Wigs, shoes, dresses, makeup--their options are limitless. I can only imagine the productions my parents would have endured.

Little boy options are fewer. That is where the Halloween costume closet comes in handy.

And, while we were sharing costumes, Nicholas thought a little "show and tell" of his most favorite Christmas gifts would be appropriate as well. Santa got off easy with this little "Puppy in a Cage" request. If this was Nicholas's only gift, he would have been quite content.

And, there was no better gift under the tree than a hand-made quilt from Nicholas's Mapa.
