Luci's Baptism Gown

Luci's grandma, Peggy Alley, made her baptism gown.  It is absolutely gorgeous.  The details are a little hard to see in the picture, but it has a lot of hand embroidery on the gown and the slip underneath.  The bodice is alternating strips of lace with puffy long sleeves tied with ribbon.  The embroidery has a bow that is done in shadow work while the rest of the stitching is done on top of the fabric.  Grandma also embroidered Luci's name and date of baptism on the slip.  Grandma experimented on the gown and also learned a new stitch for her - the scalloped edging on the slip.  She was still working on completing it on the plane out to Oregon.  Making the tiniest of button holes by hand.  Thank you Grandma!  We love it and Luci looks beautiful.

Halloween

On Friday, we went downtown to trick-or treat at the businesses.  Luci only made it to the restaurant we were meeting at.  She was tired!  But we still got to see a lot of friends all dressed up.  Luci and Maggie were Thing 1 and Thing 2.

Saturday was the Beaver game.  Daddy dressed up as a golfer and went to the game.  Luci and mommy went to the Lake's house for a hair cutting party and then all those at the game showed up later.

Sunday was Halloween and we had the Konings over for brunch.  Took a nice walk to the park and finally got a picture of the girls all dressed up together.  We only had 2 knocks on our door for Halloween.  Guess we'll be saving that candy one more year!
