The children get to wear their favorite costumes... and make believe they are their favorite Action Hero or Disney Princess. Below are some of the pictures of my daughter through the years with her costumes. I hope you will find inspirations in them, it’s been an adverture for our family to complete her costume every year. We don’t want to just buy from the stores, we wanted a unique look.<br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vdhjEFmuGV0/StwmkhjmuWI/AAAAAAAAAQg/hnLKJ5vW3Nw/s1600-h/sam_fairy_web.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vdhjEFmuGV0/StwmkhjmuWI/AAAAAAAAAQg/hnLKJ5vW3Nw/s320/sam_fairy_web.gif" vr="true" /></a><br /></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">Sam’s 1st costume, Pink Fairy Princess,</span> <br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">a gift from an uncle.

Again we bought everything from the cloth (again from a sale) to the accessories. I did all the embellishments and accessories. She used this for two consecutive years for Halloween. Sam believes she really looked good in this costume. The long dangling part of the headdress is from a Christmas décor that hadn’t been used. <img src="http://d54.decoo.jp/data/emoji/1cd24e58d2c85f572a82df9db03ef924.gif" /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vdhjEFmuGV0/StwvkijavaI/AAAAAAAAARQ/OcIbz49aey0/s1600-h/sam%26josh07_web.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vdhjEFmuGV0/StwvkijavaI/AAAAAAAAARQ/OcIbz49aey0/s320/sam%26josh07_web.gif" vr="true" /></a><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Sam with her adorable cousin Josh (as Mr. Apple Picker).
