Every year, I put together the Mommy Shorts Halloween Costume Awards. The only problems is, this happens after Halloween is over when the rest of the internet has moved on. People want inspiration, not reflection apparently.

That’s why this year, I’m taking at look back at the past five years (2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015), and sharing my absolute favorites a second time. Don’t worry, I’m still going to post awards for this year so please remember to post your pics on the Mommy Shorts Facebook page or to Instagram using #mommyshortshalloween after you celebrate Halloween!
