If I'm being perfectly honest with myself, I've done a shamefully poor job of addressing my love for Cat Sebastian 's books around these parts. I've certainly noted each time her beautiful stories have appeared on my end-of-the-year best of lists, see: The Perfect Crimes of Marian Hayes , basically every book in The Cabots series , and of course We Could Be So Good . And the pull is, quite simply, this: nobody is as kind and gentle with their characters and with their hearts than Cat Sebastian. Nobody.

That braid is too cute!
ReplyDeleteI bet she felt so pretty! I love her hair!
ReplyDeleteSpectacular hair!

ReplyDeleteYour kids are adorable! I'm sure you already know that. :P

ReplyDeleteSo cute! :)
ReplyDeleteHow cute! And I love her hair.
ReplyDeleteThat is a WICKED Rapunzel dress. Wasn't your daughter Cinderella last year? It's good to know your children are good and proper Disney fans!
ReplyDeleteThey're both gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWow... I can't believe how big your kids are getting!!! So cute, you always do such a great job with costumes. =) Hope you are doing well! =)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, guys. They had a great time and I have such a fun time on Halloween with them.
ReplyDeleteSally, good eye. We took one on my side as well when Piper was about 10 months, and I'm very glad we did.
Allie, my husband is a photographer and so I benefit from his excellent skills & equipment. For the top two shots he was using his Nikon D700. The bottom one of the braid I took with my iPhone. lol.
Lizzy, you're absolutely right. She's been a princess two years in a row. Although she tells me very emphatically that next year she's going to be Ahsoka from Star Wars. That's my girl.
I LOVE the flowers in her hair! Gorgeous!
