We had our annual History party at the farm October 30th.  It was overwhelming to make 8 costumes, so we went really simple.

Darren and I went as ourselves :).  Heidi gathered hers from the dress up box.  Dub and Brandon wore their outfits from last year.  Caleb borrowed a hat and we only made the beard from drections from the Family Fun website.  And Heather’s was made from two etsy patterns that were too fun to pass up.   The best part about making the wings was all the scraps I used up–plus I cut out a second set at the same time for a birthday surprise for my neice.

The best costume of the night was my cousin Rachael who came as an olive tree and her son was the grafte in branch–so cute and creative!

Heidi and Brandon were a trio with baby Grant (who slept through most of the party.)  Heidi was the Egyptian princess, Grant was baby Moses, and Brandon was the frog plague :).

Caleb went as Abraham Lincoln.  He loves history and war games.

Heather was an owl.  I forsee lots of dress-up play value in these wings in the future.

Dub was a tiger from the ark.

Here’s the Olive tree, grafted in branch, and lily of the field.

There were some other cute costumes like Shadrack, Meshack and To-Bed-We-Go ( a cutie toddler in her footie jammies.)  I wish I had taken more pictures!
