Everyone loves Neil Patrick Harris. While he rose to fame as a child, it was his character Barney Stinson from How I Met Your Mother that put him back in the limelight. Since then he’s hosted the Tony Awards multiple times, starred in plays on Broadway, and is Count Olaf in Netflix’s A Series of Unfortunate Events. His family life, however, is where he really shines. He and his husband David have twin children, Harper and Gideon. The four of them love to dress up, and their family Halloween costumes are legend…wait for it…

In 2015, the family decided to take on the legendary franchise Star Wars.
