our sweet little strawberry.

i was never really a fan of halloween. it just seemed kind of stupid to me.

and then, i had a baby.

how could you not adore seeing your sweet little munchkin dressed up in an oh-so-adorable little costume?! throw in the fact that we ration candy, which means i get to eat a bunch of her halloween goodies? ok, i'm sold. i now enjoy october 31st in all of it's cute-costumes-and-candy-coated glory.

yesterday was bella's second halloween. last year, she looked like this:

this year, she dressed up as the sweetest little strawberry you ever did see. i found the costume one day when i was browsing online at old navy. and within a few days, i was dragging nick to our store to make the purchase. how could i not resist?

i think she knew she was pretty cute stuff... because she never keeps anything on her head for more than two seconds when we're in the car (including ponytails, elastics and all hats). but yesterday, she left her little hat alone. i think we may have to wear that strawberry hat all winter! ;)

here are a few pictures from the day...

already excited about next year and having two kiddos to dress up! so fun. my biggest temptation from bella's halloween goodies? the bag of cheese puffs she got in her halloween treats from mimi. oh lord. you cannot put a bag of cheese puffs within five feet of this pregnant mama.

i may or may not have eaten half the bag today...
