Thanksgiving is over, let the Christmas season begin!

Halloween 2010

Frankenstein, Owlet, and Dorothy

We went trunk or treating with our new ward.  It was actually all the wards that meet in our building.  We ran out of candy very quickly.  And we had a big bag!

 I made all the costumes.  Anna's jumper was totally just a made up pattern.  I'm happy with how it turned out.  The laces were an afterthought but really added to the outfit.   I love the wig!

 Eli the owl.  He looked so cute!  I love this costume so much!  I sewed felt "feathers" all over one of his outfits and then crochets the owl hat.  He has owls on his shoes, but you can't see them in the picture.

 We decided to go crash our old ward's trunk or treat as well.  It was rainy so the kids trick or treated in the gym. It was my favorite way ever!  These guys won the kids costume contest.  I'm not really sure what Tristan is dressed as.

 Scary Frankestein!

 Close up of the owl hat.  I'm thinking about making and selling these.  You think I'd have buyers?

Close up on the Owl.  He is just too cute!

My favorite part of Halloween is making the costumes.  The only reason we go trick or treating is so people can see them.  What can I say, I'm a show off.  I'm really happy with how they turned out and the kids had fun dressing up in them.  I got the idea for the Frankenstein from Familyfun.com  they have so many cute costume ideas with step by step instructions.  I wonder what's in store next year. I'm hoping Chris and I dress up.  We'll see!
