One Texas mom turned her daughter's love of the fast-food chain Whataburger into one of the most iconic costumes there ever was! Mom Hailee Bage put her crafting skills to work and made incredible matching Whataburger superhero costumes for her and her 3-year-old daughter Mattie that were so adorable, they went viral!

Bage told KXAN News that she and Mattie were originally going to wear their Whatawoman and Whatagirl costumes on Halloween, but since it was too cold they opted against it. A few weeks later the mother and daughter duo decided to surprise workers at their local restaurant with a photoshoot where they were finally able to show off their costumes. Kendy Azenath Photography was on hand to capture the images and the amazing response that Hailee and Mattie received from staffers and customers.

“My daughter is a huge Whataburger fan and I love anything to do with Texas in general so I made the costumes myself and just had fun with it,” Hailee told the news station. “When we were doing the shoot at Whataburger the reaction was insane, people in the drive-thru honking and waving and cheering us on! It was an amazing day!” she added.

Pam Cox, Whataburger’s vice president of human resources and brand communication told Fox News they were just as impressed with Hailee and Mattie's costumes. “Mattie might just be the cutest (and smallest), crime-fighting hero we’ve ever served inside one of our restaurants,” she noted. “Our restaurant teams get to know and meet people from all over, and they really have fun when Super Fans like Mattie and Hailee stop by," Cox added.

Whataburger is so popular one couple even shared their first meal as husband and wife at the restaurant chain, posting the pictures on social media adding, "First meal as husband and wife. No better way to do it."

Hailee and Mattie's costumes were too adorable and came complete with crime-fighting capes, Whataburger cups and other food carrying containers as embellishments. We love this super crafty mom who clearly went above and beyond to make sure her daughter had one of the coolest costumes ever! We're definitely hoping Whataburger rewarded their creative efforts with a few burgers on the house!
