Halloween in Wonderland

For this year,  our Halloween theme was Alice in Wonderland.  This was inspired by our theme last year, the villians.  I was trying to think of a villian for Maddie, and thought of the Queen of Hearts just a few days before Halloween.  I was so enamored with the idea of being the queen of hearts, that I decided to revolve this year's theme around it.  It was an easy theme, there was Alice, the caterpillar, the cheshire cat, the mad hatter, card soldiers, and so on.  There were just so many costume ideas!!  We finally settled on Alice for Allie (Alice was a little essential), The Queen for me, The Mad Hatter for Jeff and Gabe as a card soldier.  Our costumes came out fabulous, even better than I anticipated.  Allie was able to wear her costume to school the next day.  Her homeroom class voted that she should go to the school competition.  She was thrilled.  We went trick or treating around our neighborhood and receieved a lot of candy.  Luckily, Allie and Gabe have been very generous at sharing their candy with Maddie and Jayd.
