Oct 30 Hallak Family Halloween Costumes 2024

Every year we do DIY family Halloween costumes and it’s been something that I look forward to every single year. I don’t sew anything - just order my materials from Amazon and whole lot of hot glue and we get started!

And I know I could buy their costumes but the process has become a team effort and it’s just been really fun creating with the kids and coming up with our own swing on the characters we’re dressing up as that year. For example, instead of just light blue boots for Ava this year, we opted for sparkly light blue boots. You know, just fun little details like that!

And the kids think their costumes are the coolest which is the best part. If you want to be hyped up by your kids, just DIY a costume and the compliments will be endless. It makes me smile so big to see how excited they are about it!

This year (along with the rest of the world, it seems) the kids decided on Spidey characters for our family (we always let the kids choose… just wait until you see some of the years past that Ava’s chosen haha). I will link all of our costumes from every year since Ava was a baby if you want to see!

2023 - Ninja Turtles + Princess Lolli
2022 - Aladdin
2021 - Peter Pan
2020 - The Little Mermaid
2019 - Cactus Family
2018 - Monster’s Inc.
2017 - 101 Dalmatians
2016 - Little Red Riding Hood

Pro Tip: Take your Halloween costumes photos before Halloween when things are much calmer, no one is grumpy from all the sugar and you’re more likely to snag a cute memory photo of that year! We do this every year and it works like a charm… no photos are ever taken on Halloween day.
