I can't remember how old Laura was when I made her the Dalmatian costume. I think she was around 13 or 14 years old. She wanted to be a dog for Halloween so I made her the costume, which was one of the easiest from our Halloween collection. We always had fun imagining and creating costumes. I don't think Laura ever had a store bought costume until she became an adult, which wasn't an easy task for me since I was an amateur seamstress learning on the job. Sierra was so intent on staying close to Laura because she was hoping Laura was going to share the dog bone with her!

Both of my children loved dressing up as characters and they didn't wait for Halloween to come around. My son was always dressed as different characters when he was young. He went from superheros to wrestlers to cowboys and back. Superman and Hulk Hogan was the most common outfits.
