After the fun that we had making the Disney Frozen costumes last year (click here if you want to read the article), we decided to do another DIY costumes again for Halloween this year!
And our theme this year is… Disney Villains! It started when Emma said that she wanted to be Ursula (the villain from The Little Mermaid) this year which was not surprising at all because as much as she loves princesses, she also loves villains! As much as she enjoys pretending to be Ariel, she also enjoys pretending to be Ursula at home. Speaking about balance, huh? :D
So we all just go along. Andrew picked Jafar from Aladdin, Esther picked Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty and I picked Captain Hook from Peter Pan.
