Halloween Costume Sneak Peek!

halloween ladybug
I had her costume idea and half of it made before she was born. When we visited my family in Atlanta, my great-grandpa, aka Lil' J's great-great-grandpa bought the rest of it for her. So she's now topped off with antlers, wings, a bodysuit and wand. Seeing her in it just makes my heart flutter!

Thank you grandpa!
great great grandpa
Pretty sure my little Lady Bug will be the cutest trick-o-treater on the block!

Everyone who comments on this post before October 8th at 11:59pm will be entered to win a Cute Bumble Bee Costume from Flowers and Beyond. Follow them on Twitter and/ or Facebook for an extra entry!
