Halloween 2012

Well, y’all know how much fun I have with this costume thing, right?  I just love it.  BUT I have a feeling this may be my last year to “convince” the kids that my costume ideas are the best!  In fact, I think I almost lost that battle this year.  One of my monkeys wasn’t so sure on my ideas and was adamant on being a clown.  His mind was made up.  Luckily, I came up with three other costumes that went with a clown and it actually made for a very cute group theme.  Thanks for that Jagger!

So the circus we would be.  Eh, not a far stretch.

HUGE thanks to my mom for making the costumes!  An idea/design only pays off if you have someone to execute it and she did it awesome!  And actually, she made Jagger’s clown costume 36 years ago for my brother, Travis.  Check this out…

And now introducing….Jaggy the Clown!

 

Love this!

And next up the SENSATIONAL elephant trainer…

Sloanie!

Pretty girl!

Every elephant trainer needs an elephant!

ONLY for her

And HERE is our own little circus monkey…

Madden Jax!

So sweet

And finally, no circus would be complete without a Ringmaster!  Meet…

The AMAZING Rocco!

Greatness!

And all together…

It is the GREATEST show on Earth!  At least, I think so!

Love these faces!

Every year we have a party with lots of kids.  I wish I would have thought to take a big group picture every year.  Maybe we will start it next year!  But here are some party guests I did snap pics of…

Caleb the pirate!

Kate the princess puppy!

Gavin the jailbird! (Hopefully this isn’t a picture of things to come )
