Thanks to everyone who sent in pictures of their kids’ Halloween costumes this year! You guys keep getting better and better. I remember five years ago when I started doing this, everyone was buying store bought costumes and depending on the cuteness of their kid to sell it. Now, it seems like everyone has really stepped up their game.

Here are awards for some of my absolute favorites!
