“Before the sun sets on her sixteenth birthday, she shall prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel and die!”the evil fairy Maleficent, Sleeping Beauty“There’s only going to be one scary witch this Halloween and that’s ma ma ma…… Maleficent!” My youngest Ami has been going around telling this to everyone she’s seen all week! My kids love this holiday, just like their mama, and were super excited for me to make their costumes. We started planning out our looks almost a month ago, but I only had a short time to actually sew after returning from our trip to MN. Ami is obsessed with Maleficent so we went with a Sleeping Beauty theme for the two of us. Nigel at 6 years old wanted something scarier, like his older cousin Koan, and decided a week ago he would be “Death“. We had a fabulous time trick or treating in my sister’s neighborhood with the family . Since we live in a condo complex we always end up traveling from home for Halloween. The kids love heading out with their cousins Ko and Veda each year, they are best buds, plus they always end up with a hugecandy stash. Big thanks to my awesome sis Meg for all these amazing photos! I wish my blog images always looked this amazing. Artistry runs in the family and my sister is an amazing professional photographer and business woman. Check out her blog, Megan DiPiero Photography for more inspiration. She’s awesome!
