Katie's obsession with Toy Story came full circle when she asked to be Jessie Cowgirl for Halloween. She asked with plenty of time to change her mind, but luckily she stuck to it. Here's the breakdown of her costume.
Red Hat from a real cowboy store in Dallas, Texas...I found it when I was out visiting Griffin!
Jessie shirt from the Disney store...again, in Dallas.
Cow chaps from scratch...We cut up some cow print pajama bottoms and sewed them to the front of her jeans.
Boots from Target...still getting good use out of them now.
And the braid...I never thought Katie would sit still long enough for the braid, but she surprised me! She actually got to dress up several times in her costume and sat for the braid every time!
We went to my cousin's annual Halloween party and trick or treating bash! Katie got to decorate her own cookie with icing and sprinkles. She kept licking the icing off and wanting to start over. Just the beginning of her sugar rush.
All the kids from the party line up every year for a group picture before setting off to trick or treat.
My sweet little Jessie Cowgirl! She's always a little timid in these big groups and it took quite a lot of coaxing to get her to join in for the picture.
Her 2nd cousin, Lucas, was dressed as a cowboy so we made sure to get a picture of them together. They look ready for some Wild West action!
Maddie lives in the same neighborhood as my cousin so she and Katie got to trick or treat together. This picture cracks me up because Katie is sitting like a cowgirl and Maddie is sitting with her hands so dainty just like a princess!
This was the first year that Katie actually went door to door for candy. We practiced saying Trick or Treat and Thank you for a week or so! She did a great job and loved all the candy! (So did Mommy!)

You forgot to mention that Doug sewed the chaps onto Katie's jeans! Ha ha!
