Tired of Election Coverage? Check out our Halloween Pics!

So, last Halloween (as in 07', not last Friday), Haley wanted to be Peter Pan. I couldn't find a costume I liked except at Disneyland and it was $80. No thanks. But I still thought it would be adorable to have Haley as Peter Pan and Lexi as TinkerBell.

Well, a couple of months ago, my mom and I went yard-sale shopping and lo and behold, there sat a perfectly good Peter Pan Costume. I bought it for $5. Sword, hat, and boots included. Then I asked my friend Heidi if she still had her daughter's Tinkerbell costume from a few years back, and she did. So this was a very thrifty Halloween.

Once the girls got their costumes, Haley started assigning everyone else costumes. I was Wendy. Curtis was Jon (my brother). Granddad was Captain Hook and Grandma was Princess Tiger Lilly.

Here are the pictures...

At home in our costumes.

Wendy with Peter Pan and Tinkerbell licking her wand...

With my parents...Ma-Maw Lyn fixed Tinkerbell's hair since I am challenged in the area of hair-styling.

The girls fueling up for a big night. (Don't judge my food choices...it's HALLOWEEN!)


Lexi and Mallory (Mallory's mom Amanda took this pretty pic.)

Wendy & Jon.

The family...

This is Hope. She is the original owner of Tink's costume. Hard to believe she fit into that same outfit. She's such a little lady now.

Peter Pan fighting with Captain Hook

Pixie Dust anyone?


Just don't touch my loot....

Precious friends.

At the end of the night...

Love, love, love the pictures! I told Brandon that next year we are dressing up like a family..the whole family. We have never done that but we would make a good "Incredibles" family...maybe? I have a whole year to think about it...lol. And I remember Hope wearing that costume..where did the time go? Wow!

I miss family themed halloween costumes. It's a bummer when kids think they have a right to dress up how ever they want for halloween. My ideas are waaaaaaay better!

These are so cute Kristi! I LOVE the whole family theme. Curtis looks like he stepped right out of the cartoon! Love it!
