This is the first costume I made, and I believe it will always be my favorite. It was made for Timothy's first trick or treat when he was about one and a half. He was the cutest lion of all time and this is my favorite picture of him in his costume even though it doesn't show the full thing and he looks sad. I still love it!
The following year, Lily came home from the hospital on Halloween day. She wore this funny little one piece outfit with the jack-o-lantern bottom. Timothy was a kangaroo that year but we don't have any good pictures of that costume. It wasn't terribly successful anyway. The ears wouldn't stay up.
The following year, Lily was a fairy. I had fun making her wings, a beaded headband, sparkly star wand and skirt with little silk flowers inside. She was just learning to walk.
Because we had just moved and I wasn't able to make two costumes due to the chaos, we borrowed this cute Hershey kiss costume for Timothy to wear. My sister-in-law had made it for her son.
The next year, both kids decided on their own what they wanted to be. Timothy asked for a dog costume and Lily decided on a clown. Lily will be wearing the dog costume this year.
Then last year, my favorite lion costume made a reappearance as Lily wore it! Timothy asked to be a black cat.
I do wish that they would be a little more creative in their costume choices so that I could have more fun creating them but they look adorable nonetheless!
I will post costumes for this year once we take pictures! Even Penny will be dressed up!
Oh WOW!! They are all so great!! Not creative???? These are so awesome!! What would you consider "creative"?? :D And look how pretty you are with Lily...you look almost the same with Penny!! So sweet! xo
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures! Such cute costumes. My grandmother always sewed our costumes- one year I was a black cat. I think I wore that costume once a week for two years after! ;)
