Happy Halloween!

We had a great Halloween! As usual, the festivities lasted more than a week. Every year by the time Halloween actually comes, I'm worn out, the costumes are worn out, and we're all just about sick from all the sugar we've devoured. This year was no exception.
Round 1: Neighborhood Party
Our friends had a party last week, and expected us to have our costumes ready a whole week in advance. I'm a last minute kind of girl, so of course we had to dig through the costume box to see what we could find. Marissa was Miss America, Noelle was Little Red Riding Hood, Liz was a hula girl, and Brynn a cheerleader.
Round 2: The Nielson Party
I worked furiously all day to finish every one's costumes and was happy that everybody's fit since I had made them without patterns while they were at school.
Marissa as a flapper, Bailey as her dad, and Noelle as a fortune teller.
Cowgirl Brynn, 70's dancer Ensley, and Cowboy Kruze.

Cousins (Marissa, Julie, and Bailee) who think they are funny.

We went indoor trick-or-treating and the kids all got tons of candy!

All the cute cousins

Round 3: Ward trunk-or-treat
This was the "real deal" event where the girls got to wear make-up and everything. (It doesn't matter what the costume is, what makes it official is when they get to wear make-up.)
Brynn saw these boots a couple months ago, and from them decided that she wanted to be a cowgirl.

Lizzie was excited to be a "poodle skirt" as she called it, or 50's girl.

Noelle said that real fortune tellers never smile, so this was one of the few pics with her smiling. Marissa was a cute flapper girl.

Happy Halloween!

Very cute. Your costumes are always the best. Brynn looks so grown up! She is such a cutie

Your girls are pretty halloweeners! Oakley might have a real cousin crush on Brynn now, he keeps wanting me to make the picture of her big. Good job on costumes!

Yes, all four are distinctively beautiful in their "era" appropriate costumes. Aren't we happy to put those all in the costume box for another year? Seeing as they don't really double for nativity costumes, well maybe Noelle's, somehow.
