"We've loved Halloween ever since we were teenagers, but we never planned to make it such a big deal in our family," Adrienne told SWNS.
HISTORY OF HALLOWEEN: THE ORIGINS OF THE HOLIDAY
Their costume tradition started in 2015, when Adrienne was doing laundry, she explained to SWNS.
"When Tate was four, I was doing laundry and I realized one of his shirts looked like Pugsley’s shirt from ‘The Addams Family,’" Adrienne said. "I thought it would be fun to all dress up like ‘Addams Family’ characters for that upcoming Halloween and things just took off from there."
In 2016, the family won a prize for their "Beetlejuice" costumes. (SWNS)

According to SWNS, Adrienne makes her family’s costumes from scratch, using materials from thrift shops, papier-mâché, poster board, wire hangers, felt and lots of hot glue.

She explained that the family went to a local festival that year, where people kept "stopping us in the street saying how much they loved our costumes."
"When I told people I'd made them from scratch they were even more impressed, so we decided to go again next year dressed as something different," Adrienne added.

However, Adrienne said this year may be the last year the family dresses up in their elaborate costumes – but they won’t leave people disappointed.
"We've got some amazing family memories from the past six years, but the kids are getting to that age where they're starting to lose faith with it," she said. "My daughter was in second grade when we started and now she’s a freshman in high school so things do feel like they're coming to a natural end."
"We’re planning to go big this year for what could be our epic finale, and we can't wait to show everyone what we've come up with," Adrienne added.
