"Off to Neverland" for Halloween 2011

This year we had a fun Halloween.  Ashton was off of work for the ward Trunk or Treat, so we did a family themed costume party.  I made all of them except my night gown.  I found it at Salvation army for $2.50.  We went with a Peter Pan theme.  Ashton was John, the brother with the top hat and umbrella, I was Wendy, Dexter was Peter Pan and Juliette was Tinker Bell.  I just love how well everything turned out.  We got Peter Pan from netflix so Dexter would know who he was, and I tried on his pants I made while watching  the movie and after I took them off, he jumped down, ran around the room, and said "I can fly!!!!"  

I wasn't thinking very well and didn't take very detailed pictures of anything.  Sorry.  I made Dexter's hat, belt, dagger, and pants and just cut up a shirt to make it have jagged edges.  Jules, well, I made it up as I went, and it turned out very cute.  I loved every minute making those costumes.  Ashton's I made up too.  It was a night shirt out of a sheet I found at the Salvation Army.  

We had a good time at the ward trunk or treat.  Dexter got loaded up.  Halloween night, I took him over to a family in our ward's house who lives in our Apartment complex.  On the way to and from, we trick or treated at some obvious homes welcoming trick or treaters.  Then we stayed home, light our pumpkins, and waited for our 1 trick or treater to come.  Dex enjoyed the whole night!

The Sunday before Halloween, we had a pumpkin carving party at one of Ashton's classmates house.  We had a fun time with everyone.  We dressed the kiddos up again so that everyone could see them.  They enjoyed it.
Our Pumpkins we carved at Julie's house

Happy Halloween!

Ashton had to work the night of our ward's trunk-or-treat so we had to change our costume plans. So this is what I came up with...

Curious George and the Mom in the Yellow Hat. I made Dexter's complete outfit. Shirt, pants, shoes, hat, and I made my yellow hat. It turned out pretty cute and fit Dex perfectly. He loves Curious George.

*In the picture with his tongue sticking out, he is saying banana. He says it with his tongue out and I love it!
