To give Isabelle’s princess costume that little extra something, I went the extra (ridiculously long) mile. I didn’t go to bed before 3am all week. There was more cutting, sewing, unstitching, gathering, sewing, unstitching, gathering and chocolate than anything I’ve ever done before. It was WAY too much work for a dress you only wear one day but then again she was so happy. It was very special to her and I know it’s going to be something she’ll remember forever. So, I guess it was worth it.
Oliver was such a star. I was worried people wouldn’t know what he was. Definitely not the case. Everywhere we went we’d hear people announce the “traveling gnome” coming up. He was just so cute! Whenever his beard would move out of place he’d say “peas, help mine beawd”.

Those are great costumes! They put a smile on my face. Too cute.
On my, I have to make my Jack a gnome next year! I love it. And with the last post, one day we found Jack's bleach blonde hair colored in with black permanent marker (thanks to big bro) and Josh's face done up with dry-erase marker on the way to CA. No more markers here either!
How cute! They look adorable, I love their costumes! Good job!
I've been looking forward to seeing these pictures ever since I read your RSVP comment on evite. I LOVE the costumes! Did you make his too? And about the "only one night" thing... there's always dress-up right?
