Here is our beautiful Russian Snow Princess trying to smile through her tears. Why was she crying you ask? Well her mother insisted she wear a warm fleece under her costume to keep her warm and even though I had her put on a dark purple shirt that hid the fleece she was very upset because 'it makes my arms look fat' We almost had her stay home instead of going trick or treating. This is the 2nd year in a row that there has been lots of tears and drama. I am hoping that in the end there was a teachable moment for Avery as after 2 houses she said 'everyone loves my costume and they can't even see my fleece!"Keep your fingers crossed for us for next year.
