Dress As Your Favorite Book Character Day!



Livi was rocking the Kaya outfit today! Kaya is an American Girl doll. If you don't know about American Girl, they have novels that tell stories about the lives of their historical dolls. Liv chose Kaya, the Native American doll/story. Doesn't she look great!? I had the dress in my stash of costumes at school and we added the underclothes and slippers - yep, those are slippers! I made some bead necklaces too. We have a friend who is Mohawk and she loaned us the more intricate bead necklace. Jackpot, right!? I braided her hair, added some feathers and some leather cord. Tie off the waist and voila! Last year, she placed third in her whole third grade class for her Hermione costume. We will have to wait to see how she does this year!

Update: Livi didn't win the contest - boooo!
