A Costume Fit for a "King"

On one occasion when I took Chance into work, someone commented on all of his hair and mentioned he would make a great Elvis for Halloween. Well the idea stuck with me and I talked my mom into helping me make an Elvis costume for Chance. It wasn't going to be easy but I knew between the both of us we could whip this puppy up. We hit JoAnn's looking for fabric, decorations and other ideas and luckily stumbled across an adorable pattern for none other than an Elvis Costume!My mom, bless her heart cut out the pattern from white fleece and then tried to sew together a mini version for Chance. She was up to her eyeballs trying to make a 2T costume fit a 6-12 month sized baby. She did it though.Julie came over to help and thoughy to herself, "I think my sister has finally lost it"My dad sat in the observation seat and thought to himself, "I think my daughter has finally lost it!"But two days later we had an Elvis costume on our hands, and it turned out pretty darn cute. My mom did an AWESOME job sewing it together and adding an attached cape as well as a belt to go along with it!We tried it on Chance and he thought it was pretty cool too!
After a little hard work, we did it, Chance, I mean Elvis was ready to leave the building (and go Trick or Treating of course!)
