Halloween 2009

For Halloween 2009 the girls were the Statue of Liberty and Kairi (Kingdom Hearts).

The Statue of LIberty costume was a simple tunic made out of green costume satin, with a wide sash safety pinned at the shoulder. Her crown was made out of an old headband with card stock triangles wrapped in duct tape. The torch was a flash light wrapped in tin foil with a tissue paper flame duct taped on. The tablets are two plain jane foam boards from Hobby Lobby.

I didn't keep a running tally on the cost, but overall it was a pretty cheap costume. Of course she wasn't really green, but I thought it would be fun for her picture.

Would you believe Kristen would only let me sneak one picture of her Kairi costume? ..After all the time we spent looking for just the right plaid. Can't remember what my niece, standing next to her was. It looks like maybe she was a cat.

We had a great time trick or treating on Halloween, and enjoyed Hallelujah night at Dry Gulch. Kristen volunteered at one of the games the entire night, and was exhausted by the time we drove home.
