Any One Else Dressing up as a Family for Halloween?!

We don't do a big family theme. But I volunteer in the classroom for my kid's Halloween party every year, and I dress up to go to school. It's fun. My kids typically do coordinate, but at this age it's mostly because younger thinks everything older does is cool, and so he copies him (older doesn't mind-yet-).

I'm not creative, so I go the costume store and just look for a female adult costume that I'm not embarrassed to wear in front of elementary age kids. This year, it's Cleopatra.

This year it is just my daughter and I going out (hubby will be traveling) so we picked two characters from Inside Out.

Not every year, but we have in the past. Alice in wonderland (Alice, Cheshire cat, Mad hatter, White Rabbit, Queen of hearts, and Knave of hearts), Woodland creatures (cat, wolf, fox, mouse, rabbit) and Peter Pan (Tinker Bell, Wendy, Peter, Hook, and lost boys).

We always do!
We're The Avengers this year: I'm Captain America, hubby is Nick Fury, daughter is Black Widow, oldest son is Iron Man, middle-man is Hulk, and the baby is Thor, complete with crocheted Mjölnir.
Previously we've done Star Wars, superheros, Cinderella, zombies, Flintstones, and baseball fans with a hot dog.
As the kids get older, we take turns and make compromises, but they love dressing up as a family.

Sounds cute! My kids and their cousins want to be sled dogs and have one of them be the "musher" (is that what you call the driver?). I'm not sure how that will work, but I'm sure it will be fun! :)

It is fun to dress up as a family - we used to when the kids were younger. I still remember pulling a baby Yoda (complete with big furry ears) around in the wagon. I was Leia complete with hair rolls trying to keep up with Darth Vader and storm troopers. Other years it's been characters from books, movies, one year they all went as food.

Now it's about going out with buds instead and they don't coordinate with each other, but their friends go as themes. Still very fun :)

Enjoy! Can't go wrong with Frozen :)

I like seeing family costumes when they come for trick-or-treat. The closest we've come to doing that is putting both of our then-toddlers in clown costumes. Our kids are very anti-matchy so they would never consent to whole-family costuming. If your kids love it, go for it!

Adorable! We don't do family costumes but some years my boys have coordinated. For two different years they were all dressed as different Star Wars characters, and one year I had two Billy Joe Armstrongs (the singer of Green Day).

No, but glad you are having fun with it. :)

It's a dear friend's 50th birthday that evening, so we are doing dinner and dancing and we have a very fun babysitter who is taking Kiddo out. (I've known her since she was born, she's like family and is so excited to have an excuse to Trick or Treat, esp with Kiddo.) I'm sort of bummed to miss out on the neighborhood trick or treat but glad he'll have someone fun to go with.

that's adorable :)

we love Halloween too! but my son is 9 and has his own very specific ideas about what he wants to dress as - I miss the days I could pick for him! So he is going as his favorite video game character, I am a (pregnant) nun, and hubby is a priest :P

Have a great one! lol.

We have always dressed up but not a theme. We like to dress scary so we can scare the kids. I put a boom box in the front yard and blast the really scary Halloween CD. I did see the couples costume that is toast with peanut butter and jelly and now want that for hubby and me in case there's a party or something. I did like the idea in the other post about paying the kids to not do Halloween but I don't think my 13 yo would not go for it. Maybe next year. lol

I can never get my husband on board. He WAS willing to go along with a Walking Dead theme this year, sincere dd had decided she wanted to be a scary zombie for Halloween. We just had our new baby, so the plan was for our dd to be the zombie, Daddy would be Rick (he even has the beard and body type to pull it off.) I would be a zombie Lori, and we would put Baby in the stroller with a "Lil Asskicker" sign on it. :)

Then our dd decided she would rather be a spider, so there went that. :/

A friends family dressed as The Incredibles a few years ago for a party. We don't because we are not always together. Husband is usually working and kids go off with different groups of friends. Also, because we buy thrift store costumes we get an eclectic mix.

ETA: I'm confused as to why osohapi would pay her kids not to trick-or-treat if they enjoy Halloween?

My kids decided to be avengers this year. I've got a captain america, vision, falcon, black widow, and I'll be scarlet witch.

I have two boys - all 4 of us are going as the 4 ninja turtles. The boys love that mommy and daddy participate (although are costumes aren't as elaborate as the kiddos).

We once went as a Day of the Dead mariachi band. I got really good at painting our faces for this...it looked amazing. Once we were all pirates. Now our son is 11 and has his own ideas for halloween...no family outfits for him! You guys will be so cute as frozen characters. I love it when families do a family costume. I saw a dad walking with his two kids last year...one kid was a minecraft creeper, once kid was minecraft steve and the dad was an Enderman. He was a tall thin guy so he looked perfect! His two kids were SO EXCITED.

ds wanted to be woody and dd wanted to be jessie. so we are rolling with the toy story theme (but me and dad don't dress up)
