Two adults, a 2 year old boy with long curly blonde hair and a fat 5 month old baby boy with no hair! Any ideas for a simple theme?

I'd like something for both of them that complements each other, and me and DH can just fit in with the theme.

We did something adorable last year that can be for any age- we were stick figures. Wore all white and made a stick figure out of black duct tape down our bodies. Along arms, legs, down middle... baby wore white stretchie with the tape. It was comfortable and so original. Everyone we met said it was awesome. We also tied in an adorable mm with it.

We have done: Berenstain bears, policemen, bakers, and this year we are soldiers.

The MM always matches our costumes.

Honey related items, doughnuts and coffee, baked goods, survival kits.

Let me know what interests you and I'll give u full details.

I have 2 girls similar ages and they are being the frozen princesses. I guess maybe we'll be a king and queen. If not costumes are more for kids.

You can do a baker theme:
Baby can be a cupcake http://www.carters.com/carters......html Toddler can be a cookie https://www.walmart.com/ip/San.....58248 or https://www.walmart.com/ip/Mil.....77072
You guys an be bakers - just get paper baker hats and aprons.
For mishloach manos you can buy a big measuring cup and fill in with baked goods and a milk carton...

The "basket" could be a gold plastic crown ( check oriental readings) I believe they also have gold plastic bejeweled goblets. You put the crown on a base such as those round fooled cardboards you would put a cake on. Fill center of crown with purple tissue paper. You can do red velvet cupcakes, a candy ring, cookies with " royal icing", chocolate coins etc.

OP , one yr we did ketchup, mustard, hot dog in a bun and a hamburger. Shalach manos was a brown paper bag with a can of coke, a bag of potatoe "fries" and a hotdog in a bun made out of marzipan.
