While Zuckerberg and Chan bedecked themselves in fur and leather—specifically, cozy-looking Ugg-type boots and old-school Viking-style armor—they chose to keep the costume for eleven-month-old Max plush and easy; their daughter got to be the young, onesie-clad dragon of the group. Shaggy-haired Beast, meanwhile, stole the show as a sheep. If the Zuckerberg-Chan clan plans on making themed family costumes an annual occurrence, they should know they are entering a crowded scene with stiff competition. Between [Beyoncé, Jay Z, and Blue Ivy’s](http://time.com/4553040/beyonce-jay-z-blue-vy-barbie-halloween-costumes/?iid=sr-link2) multiple [strong showings](http://time.com/4551352/beyonce-blue-ivy-tina-knowles-salt-n-pepa-halloween-costume/?iid=sr-link1) this year and the reigning champion crew of the genre, [Neil Patrick Harris and squad](http://time.com/4530853/neil-patrick-harris-family-halloween-photos/?iid=sr-link1), celebrity families have already set a high bar. That said, this is a solid start to an excellent family tradition.
