Aw, thank you!

Ha! It seems all the cool grandparents are doing it! :)

And thanks for the kind word.

Aw, thank you so much! Virginia sends wet kisses.

Aw, thank you! It is incredibly sweet of them.

Thanks! Yes, she puts up with the craziness of her humans with good humor, but she's really quite the lady.

Aw, thank you so much. *g* This one was especially soft and cuddly, so she didn't mind it at all.

LOL! Actually, she quite liked the costume, because it's very soft and fleecy, like her sweatshirts. (I had to cinch it tighter for the pictures so the "face" would hold still.) What really disgusted her, though, was that I kept trying to take pictures of her back, when she kept trying to face me. She looked at me like, "What are you doing? Don't you know the cuteness is over here on the front side?" So funny! :) So I bet some of that came through in the pictures.

Aw, that makes my day! Thanks to you and your granddaughter. (If she were here, Virginia would lick her nose. That's her favorite thing to do with our nephew. She sits still, and then very deliberately leans forward and "kisses" his nose, and then looks very satisfied with herself as he collapses in giggles.)

Aw, thank you! She has been loved and scritched on your behalf, and she sends her thanks.

Thank you! Yes, she took that hat very, very seriously. She's usually very good natured about it (knowing, as she does, that treats are forthcoming), but this year's in particular she liked quite a bit. It's very soft and fleecy, and she was perfectly happy to run around in it after the "photo shoot." I had to cinch in the waist for the pictures, though, so the jack-o-lantern's "face" would hold still when she moved! Ha.

LOL! Thank you. Sometimes I have a hard time getting a shot, because I'm laughing so hard. She was a bit disgusted with me for a while, because I kept moving behind her to get her back in the picture, and she kept turning around to face me, posing. She couldn't imagine why I'd want to see her back, when her cute little face was in front!

Ha! Indeed yes, my parents do know her size. And they have asked for her measurements more than once. (Mother actually sewed one of the costumes herself, in fact - the last one pictured above.) They're also very savvy about getting adjustable costumes. For example, this one could be tightened or loosened around the "waist." I had to cinch it in for the pictures, to keep the jack-o'-lantern "face" on her back from moving. But then I let out the velcro a bit, and she quite happily wore the costume around the house. (It's very soft and fleecy.)

We walk every day, but we usually lengthen our walks in the fall and winter, when it's coolest. Sometimes we go for an hour a morning. My joke is that Virginia needs to get svelte in time for her annual costume's arrival. ;)

Thanks for letting me share these with you!

Yay! :) Thanks.

Aw, thank you so much!

Thank you!

LOL! That sounds adorable.
