halloween

The girls were so excited for Halloween this year (Charlie didn't seem to understand what exactly was going on!)  Of course Ruby had to be a princess and she wanted to wear her Belle gown.  Natalie went as an Indian and she got into character for it, too!  Because I was lazy and didn't search for the perfect costume for Charlie, he was a bum with messy hair, mis-matched shoes, a 5 o'clock shadow, and a cardboard sign saying 'Will work for candy'.  I didn't get any pictures of Charlie, though :(  So here are just the girls.



Natalie walked in a costume parade at school.

Earlier this fall, Natalie was asked to participate in a live mannequin show in downtown Holland for Spring's store.  While the other women in the windowfront were the queens of hearts, spades, diamonds, and clubs, Natalie was a joker.  She wore a joker hat and was told to just make the people on the other side of the window laugh.  And she did amazing!  We weren't able to be there because we were having the party for my mom, but Jordan's mom took her and said she had everyone laughing.  People would come and just watch her from the outside.  She worked for an hour and a half and had so much fun!  She certainly loves to entertain and make people laugh!
