I finally tried on the "Tinkerbell" costume that my MIL bought Gwenie last year on sale to wear this year for Halloween and it is to small. So I thought I would take advantage of having my mom here on Saturday to see if she could help me make Gwenie a costume. (They were staying with us for a night before they headed back to Utah) We went to the fabric store and poured through the patterns. My mom came across one that had us both laughing and we knew that would be the one.
I also bought some velvet (expensive stuff) so that my mom could take it home and sew Gweniveve a cape with a hood for Christmas. She had made my niece, Whitney, a cape with hood out of velvet one year and I thought it was awesome. I am so excited for Gwenie to open it on Christmas and wear it as a coat.
Then we went out to dinner at Fuddrucker's. As I have mentioned before my Dad is a huge lover of a good hamburger. We got a corner booth so Gwenie had tons of room and was in heaven.
The last thing my mom did was to give Gwenie her 1st EVER haircut. My mom told me that it would grow faster and thicker if it was trimmed and I am all for that.
Gwenie just wanted to drink out of the sink, which made it a little hard for my mom to cut her hair, but it went great.
It was so amazing to see my parents, I just love when they are around. Apparently so does Gwenie. The whole time they were here she would run up to my mom or dad for them to hold her hand or to give them hug & kisses. She even said grandpa for the first time, it was great.

Just checking in. Gwenie is super cute. BTW what is she going to be for Halloween and what are you doing for Halloween?
Just a guess based on colors is Gwen going to be a candy corn??
It is true about the hair...it worked for both my boys. Glad you had fun with your family!!
Yup, a candy corn. It is so cute and different I love it.
I was wondering what she was going to be. I couldn't figure it out from the fabrics. How fun...a candy corn. I love fall too and Halloween. Although, I'm still trying to figure out what my kids are going to be. That's the hard part.
Taylor loves Tinkerbell. She was Tinkerbell when she was 3. She went through this phase where everything had to be tinkerbell. Too bad the costume was too small, but I'm sure your mom made something super cute!
Looks like a very fun weekend! Can't wait to see her as a candy corn!
A candycorn? What a cute idea! If I had an ounce of sewing skills, I might have to steal your idea...but I don't, so Disney is providing my costumes!
What a great little girl you have!! So lucky!
What a fun thing to do with your mom. It's always fun to have your parents around. Good job saying Grandpa Gwen!
