Magnolia loves elephants and she also has a memory like an elephant so it would only be appropriate that she dress as an elephant on Halloween. She loves this costume and does not like taking it off and how could I argue?
While I didn't make her costume (although I had great intentions of doing so), I did make her candy bucket. Ten minutes before trick or treating I cut half of an empty oatmeal container and covered it in felt, fabric, and glue. It worked out fine and she came home with it filled to the brim. :)
Magnolia's good friends Edward and Charlie stopped by. A giraffe, a tiger, and an elephant...they were quite the jungle collection!
It was the most beautiful Halloween night I can remember. Sunny, nearly 60 degrees and no breeze. Our candles stayed lit in our pumpkins and no coats had to be worn over costumes. I had my front door wide open as I made beef stew, toasted pumpkins seeds, made homemade caramel, and 2 loaves of banana bread! George took Magnolia up and down our street. Apparently she had no problem going up to the doors and said hello and goodbye to everyone. When we ran out of candy and the sun was down, we went for a walk. It was such a nice Halloween and so much fun to see Magnolia enjoy it too!
I took these photos yesterday. She loves to go out to the front porch to see the "man." She's not that scared of him except this was the closest I could get her to him for a photo. We all had our own pumpkins this year and a baby pumpkin for the baby-to-be pumpkin which Magnolia wanted to hold. 
Hoping everyone had a very happy Halloween!

What a great little elephant you have there! Such a sweet costume! Sounds like a perfect Halloween!! We had similar weather here -- it was so wonderful not to have to wear coats and just enjoy the trick or tricking and costumes. Have a great weekend. Love all of your photos!
