Every year my friends and I welcome the New Year with a fantastic themed party. You might recall that last year the theme was Muppets/Sesame Street and that the year before that was Dinosaur Prom. Well, this year the theme was Dr. Seuss and it was so much fun!
How The Grinch Stole Christmas was one of my favorite Christmas movies when I was little, so for my costume I decided to go as The Grinch! I found an XL red sweater at Old Navy on clearance for around $3.00 and then sewed on the fur trim by hand. I also covered a pair of flats with red felt and fur trim to create The Grinches long red pointy shoes. I wore long green eyelashes, lots of green eye makeup and scary black eyebrows, as well as green gloves and tights. I love how it turned out!
Since I was The Grinch, B came as The Grinch’s dog Max! I cut out his ears from felt, sewed his antler from white fabric, and then attached them to a headband. It was easy, and I love the end result!
The party was so much fun. Here I am with a Truffula Tree, Sally from The Cat in the Hat, and Fox in Socks!
And here’s the whole group! Along with The Grinch, Max, Truffula Tree, Sally, and Fox in Socks there were also Sneetches, Thing 1 and Thing 2, The Cat in the Hat, Yertle the Turtle, Sam I Am, Cindy Lou Who, and Dr. Seuss himself!
It was a wonderful way to ring in 2012!
Cute!
