Halloween 2011

Natalia wanted to be Dora--she has black-ish hair, but it's kind of hard to see in the picture.

Anna is the fifth child and doesn't know about Halloween, so she got a princess dress on top of her clothes, a flower in her hair, and was called a ballerina.

Sweet Camilla wanted to be a nurse. This happens to be the same nurse dress/cape that I wore as a little girl. The cute nurse hat I wore has been lost, but she was happy with this one.

Eliza was a witch for at least the second, maybe third year in a row. Gotta love a costume that works year after year!

Here's the whole crew.

This is the back of Dora--Boots the monkey, the map, and backpack. Backpack's face ended up being a little too low, but she didn't really wear it most of the night anyway!

Madeline was a peacock. She had the idea planned out for months. As time for Halloween drew near, we had done nothing about a costume, but pulled this cute one together pretty last minute. She did it herself, except for cutting it out and attaching the straps. Pretty impressive!

I was the Cat in the Hat if you can't tell. See me brandishing my tail like a weapon?

Happy Halloween, all. Go eat a candy bar!
