Pumpkins and Fairies

Instead of going to just one pumpkin patch this year, Ava got to go to two, and our family somehow ended up with five pumpkins, including an Ava-sized pumpkin that we got for free at the fall festival at Irvine's Great Park. In addition to a costume, Ava had plenty of orange and black seasonal wear.

For Halloween itself, Ava was a fairy, and had several opportunities to wear her outfit as Abby took her to a number of Halloween parties (not the scary kind, but the toddler-friendly kind).

Abby carved our pumpkins and each of us had our own jack-o-lantern.

And Ava enjoyed playing with her pumpkin even after Halloween was over.
