Little Red Riding Hood Family Costume and Annual Halloween Costume Link-Up

Halloween Costume Link Up
Did y'all have as much fun on Halloween as we did? We loved our Halloween costumes!

Trick-or-treating was postponed until Friday, November 1 because of awful rain and winds on the 31st. We carved pumpkins on the 31st and still had a great night. I came home from work a bit early on Friday so we could all get decked out in our Red Riding Hood gear.
Little Red Riding Hood Family Halloween costumes
This was our first time doing a family theme and it was SO much fun. Matthew was the woodcutter, Elias was the wolf, Adeline was Red Riding Hood and I was the grandma.

Wolf Halloween costume
I followed this tutorial for Elias's costume. The grey sweatshirt and sweat pants were from Wal-Mart. The tail was formed by cutting a leg off an extra pair of sweats, stuffing it and sewing it to the back of the pants. All of the felt elements were attached using stitch witchery.

Halloween costumesElias LOVED being the wolf and pretending to scare everyone.

wood cutter and wolf from red riding hood Halloween costumesI bought Matthew's flannel at Goodwill and made Matthew's ax using a painted wrapping paper tube and a cut piece of cardboard. (I simply hot glued the blade to the tube.)

Little Red Riding Hood and grandma Halloween costumesI bought Adeline's dress on Zulily and made her a long cape. The cape was a bit trial and error – I loosely followed this pattern, but made some adjustments on the fly.

Halloween costumes

In typical 2-year-old fashion, she didn't like having the hood up, so we only got a few photos with it up. At least she didn't mind it hanging down her back. 🙂

I found a wig on Amazon, glasses at The Dollar Tree and borrowed a nightgown from my grandma to complete my Granny look.

trick or treating with red riding hood and wolf Halloween costumesWe trick-or-treated for about an hour and a half. Our friends the Behms joined us and the kids loved having Hannah (Snow White) with us (despite Adeline's annoyed face – she didn't want to sit for a photo!).

    What amazing family costumes. I love them all. That wolf suit is adorable.
    Love that Halloween was postponed until Friday. The sun came out just in time for us to have a dry Halloween. I’m not sure what we would have done if it were raining.
