Can you tell she’s just screaming in delight that she gets to be a bunny this year? Well, maybe not “in delight”. It sure is tough getting a child into a costume long enough to take some decent pictures. I had to have the camera at the ready before throwing the suit on her and made sure to button at least one of the clasps for the head piece so she wouldn’t pull it off right away. Then I shot like mad! I scrambled to the north-facing window to get some good light and sure enough she followed me, whining to help get the costume off. I let her “enjoy” it for a couple minutes before I succumbed to her pleas. Let’s see your kiddies in their costumes. Were you lucky enough to get a smile?

One day, she will enjoy dressing up and then she’ll regret she didn’t dress up more when these costumes fit!
