Halloween Before It's Too Late

Everyone likes Halloween in our house, and Celeste especially loved it.  She wasn't too disappointed when I made her be a fairy with an old ballet costume instead of making her the kangaroo costume she dreamed of (I'm done with that phase of my life.)  Since I didn't make kid costumes, I made costumes for Jeff and I for a grown-up Halloween party at my dear friend Leah's house.

Elise designed her own laundry basket costume.



At the ward Halloween party.





Vikings, of course.



We didn't get a picture of Gwyneth in her Tinker Bell costume because she went to a party and the house was in chaos at the time.  her friends dressed as the other characters from Peter Pan - to see the pictures go to her facebook, they're in there somewhere....

Camille as a bride with face paint on her cheek.
