Halloween 2013

Some pictures from Halloween.  Alana had various princess outfits on several days before and leading up to the big day.  Maya wanted to be a bee at first, but last minute decided she wanted to be "Jewel" from Rio.  Ana had to scramble quickly to make it work, but it all came together in time!
