Liam's Costume Birthday Party!

My sweet first-born turned 7 on Saturday. He's been talking forever about having a costume party for his birthday. I decided that I could NOT expect him to wear one of the same two outfits he's been wearing on halloween for at least three years, so I went to work on making some new costumes.
Originally, the idea was Liam would be the Tin Man and David would be the Cowardly Lion and Heidi be Dorothy.
Then, I found a cute princess dress for Heidi for less than 4 dollars, mentioned to Liam that his Tin Man costume could easily be a Knight instead, and could only find dark colored material for the lion....
Enter creativity:
Liam went as a Knight, David as a Dark Lion and Heidi as a princess. And it was great. So many of the guests dressed up too (I only have a couple pictures because the battery on my camera decided right then to die....grrr) and the party was a great success!

You can see them in a few of the pictures: we had mustache and lip lolly pop favors. I got the idea here.
