Over the next two months as we conclude 2025, I will publish several Don’t Blink annual blog posts. We kick things off with my yearly Reser children Halloween costume reveal. But before I spill the beans, I need to disclose what my daughter is not this year. After three straight years wearing a pointy hat, Sloan chose not to be a witch for Halloween 2025.

Sloan was a witch for the third year in a row in 2024. The streak came to an end this year.

I will explain momentarily why Sloan chose against a witch. However, I don’t want to keep all of you in suspense for much longer. So, drum roll please…

Beau and Sloan are Stich and Lilo for Halloween 2025.

This year, Sloan and Beau are Lilo and Stitch.

This year for Halloween, Sloan and Beau are wearing Lilo and Stitch costumes.

Beau was the first to pull the trigger. He loves Stitch and sleeps with a stuffed version every night (is that bad that a kindergartener is still sleeping with a stuffed animal?). When he found out that he could dress up as Experiment 626, he didn’t think twice. Sid purchased the costume at Target.

Beau is a huge fan of Stitch and his 2025 Halloween costume reflects that.

When it came to Sloan, she simply didn’t want to be a witch again. However, she still wanted to stay on the darker side and expressed her intentions to be a vampire queen (WTF, right?). When those plans didn’t quite materialize due to constraints with accessories, she chose to go in a very different direction and made a family-first decision. In a show of solidarity with Beau, she decided to complement his portrayal of stitch by serving as his Lilo. Sid picked up Sloan’s overpriced costume from Spirit Halloween.

Sloan chose to be Lilo this Halloween.

They truly make a great team together. But after a weekend of Halloween festivities, we have discovered a couple things. First, Stitch is an extremely popular costume this year as Beau found himself walking amongst many other blue aliens these past few days. Second, even when paired with Beau, Sloan’s Lila costume isn’t as obvious as we thought. Some people have mistaken her for who she dressed up as in 2021—Moana.

We have seen a lot of other Stitches this Halloween season.

Despite the popularity of Beau’s costume and the mistaken identity of Sloan’s, they are both rocking it this Halloween. They have taken on the personalities of the dynamic Disney duo and have fed off each other.

Sloan and her friend, Presley, at St. Mary’s Halloween event on Friday.

They will slip on their 2025 costumes a couple more times this week, including the main event on Halloween night. My hope is that 20 years from now we can get them into Lilo and Stitch adult costumes and take a photo to post side-by-side one of the images taken this Halloween. Don’t Blink.
