Family Fun at Ripple Effect Martial Arts Annual Trunk or Treat!
Kaitlyn, Mark, and little Willow Mae Birdsall-Thomas pose with Nick. It’s a good thing Doc McStuffins was there to help out Miss Piggy if she needed it!
Fun fact, Kaitlyn is the author of Nick’s upcoming book, Nick’s Eggsciting Adventure: An Exploring in Action story.
Check out her art videos here
Ms. Piggy was very excited to see all the costumes, though some were a little scary! 
Like the big bad wolf! He doesn’t like little pigs! Ms. Piggy
