6th Annual Del Ray Halloween Parade

It's our 6th annual Del Ray Halloween Parade! Well, the parade itself is longer than six years, but we've only been attending for six parades since Evie was born.


Mom spent several weeks working on Evie's spectacular swallowtail butterfly costume.


It was worth every minute! Amazing!


Ellie, on the other hand, spotted her costume many weeks ago on a trip to Costco. Once she saw it was Repunzel, she immediately declared the outfit her Halloween getup.  She received the hair from Aunt Casey for her birthday a few months ago, and that pulled the entire customer together. Notice the homemade Pascal on Ellie's shoulder. Impressive pipe cleaner sculpture Mom!


The girls show off their costumes together before everyone heads out to Del Ray Alexandria for the world's, okay, Alexandria's largest Halloween parade!


Mom and Dad get into the spirit too. First up is mom as a butterfly garden!


Next up is Dad as the lantern-filled sky from "Tangled."
