Family Costumes 2012

This was going to be the first year we did not do a family costume. Alas, 3 boys begged and pleaded to do it yet again. We thought long and hard about what we could be.....and tried our hardest to MAKE our costumes. Last year I made all of the costumes for under 4 dollars. We didn't do nearly as well this year but we still did pretty darn good.

May I present...........

Starnes Family Game Night!!

Here are just a few of the Starnes Family's favorite games:









Here we go with the total cost:

Felt for Nate's costume plus white t shirt: $6.36
My costume: two pieces of thick cardboard: $2.00
Dallin's cardboard: $1.00
Anna's dress, crown and staff thing: $17.89
Parker's hat and cane: $7.42
Landon's banana costume: $12.59

Equals a grand total of ........................$47.26

Less than $8 per costume....not too shabby!

LOVE it! I knew the most expensive would be for baby girl as it should be! After all she is a princess.
