Each year we attend the Bella’s birthday party which is a crazy Halloween party with an elaborate haunted house. We have in the past had elaborate costumes to attend. This year, with everyone being sick we did not do a meta costume instead were a part of the theme much like we did in 2016. The haunted house this year was a Castle, so instead of medieval costumes like the Hoaglands had we came as contemporary royal dignitaries visiting the castle – easy costumes with a tuxedo (already had), girls in princess costumes (already had) and Erin re-purposing her dress from 2010 when she was Princess Peach (note after two kids, it still fits!). Our best year was still probably 2014, but we were just glad to make it. Oh and these are not the kids’ costumes for Halloween.
