HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
We thought it fitting for Millie to be Alice for Halloween since the story originated and was written in Oxford. The "real" Alice, Alice Liddell, was the daughter of the Dean of Oxford's "Christ Church" where Lutwidge Dodgson was a lecturer. Dodgson is the author of Alice In Wonderland, but he changed his name to Lewis Carroll for it's publication. It's told that Dodgson based his many stores around the people and places that surrounded him. Including the Original Sheep Shop (Alice goes there in the book and finds a sheep working the counter) to the famous Oxford Dodo and Alice herself. We had a great Halloween walking the city and visiting a few of these historical places. It was pretty cool to see a stuffed Dodo bird! Everyone we walked by had to stop and tell us how cute Millie was and Millie had to tell everyone her Nana made her costume. Thanks Nancy!

That is a perfect costume for where you live and she really looks like Alice- v. cute!
Happy Halloween. Sounds like a great day, but was Mil cold in the top picture?? What a great costume Nancy did a great job. Trick or Treat all the way from theSLC
So cute. Love Millie's costume. That is so fun that you could make a day out of it.
Oh Jager! Your little girl is a doll! Such a precious costume.
very cute!
Oh, Jager! How many of us are there. That's what i went by all through school too. The costume is precious. M is the perfect Alice. Did you see the owl?
You are so lucky to be out there!! How cool to see those places and have the perfect costume to go with it! She looks so old! So much pretty hair. Do they still have "mind the gap" stuff everywhere? That was so annoying. Mind the gap, stay the que,bloke,all the random stops and round-abouts, fags(thats what they called cigerettes!)JJ got really annoyed by the british talk. Such different worlds, I love it.
Wow. I think I want to have kids just to dress them up for Halloween. Millie makes a perfect Alice!
I love her little costume! How darling!!! Wow, that is neat to see a real stuffed Dodo bird! hugs, EMilee
