I love our family themes for Halloween - I hope the kids keep going along with them because I have so much fun seeing it all come together. This year we were all characters from Star Wars - some from the new movie The Force Awakens. I loved the new female lead, Rey. Claire was the perfect Rey! Miles chose to be an X Wing fighter, Po, also from the new movie. Penelope was going to be one too, but when we were at Disneyland, she chose a Yoda hat as a souvenir so I said she could get it if she'd be Yoda for Halloween. Henry was the destined to be the little droid, BB8. We started calling him Bubba-8. He kept his helmet on (it's a real bike helmet) for most of the night at the church Trunk or Treat, even though he was super sweaty. I am ready for some Fall weather.
I had the family go out to the desert near our house for some pictures before it got dark - I thought it looked like a scene straight out of Star Wars and it's literally one minute down the road. Claire's character is from a desert planet called Jakku - I love how these turned out! Everyone humored me and went out into the dirt, even though we were almost late to the church. I keep telling the kids that these photos are my favorite things, so please just go along with it. :)
I have fake hair wrapped around floral wire and woven into my bun to duplicate Padme's twisty hairstyle. It turned out so cool! Claire's hair was three buns down the middle of her head, just like in the movie. Her hair was just right for this style.
