This years costume theme is "Let Love Bloom"! I dressed up Andre as a farmer; scored his farmers overalls at Carhartt and purchased some gardening tools over at Goodwill. For Avery, I dressed him up as a gnome and purchased his costume off Amazon. He wouldn't keep the beard on, but who cold blame him [...]
