2020-Halloween costumes were planned & executed – even a list of extras that went through my sewing room. Then the worst happened, covid hit the entire family. Halloween was sadly cancelled first time ever. I was so sad, upset and so very sick. I spent 4 1/2 days in the hospital and I came home to my beautiful pile of unused costumes staring at me from the dining room table, eventually I put them away for the next year just hoping they would still fit.
Halloween 2021- So hard to believe but the costumes still fit! We added a new grandson to the group and we worked it all out for a group photo. I can now say I understand the saying “like herding cats” oh my goodness, you just hope for that one perfect picture but there was no way! Today I look back and they are all perfect to me! So happy it all worked out.

Caden did a good job sharing his outfit with Calvin for pictures! We had so much fun and as always it takes a village! Wigs, beards, capes that aren’t pinned yet, not wanting to wear a hat took some good old fashioned bribing… a barbie doll, hot wheels and a few suckers were delivered by their Nana….<3
Thanks for stopping by, it’s that beautiful time of year again and I have costumes to make! Love & God Bless, Teri
