Memory Lane

I found this picture today on our piano. When I was little, I wanted to be Belle for Halloween so my wonderful mom sewed me this costume. I LOVED it, though in the picture, my face doesn't show it. Unfortunately, it was so cold that night that I had to wear a jacket while trick or treating, but I didn't care because I knew that underneath the jacket was my dress. I played dress-up in that many many times for years to come. Whenever we'd play pretend, people would always want me to be Cinderella because I had blonde hair, but I wanted to be Belle or Aurora (Sleeping Beauty).
