Halloween 2009

from halloween night- a skunk, dracula, and firefighter. (quince was supposed to be frankenstein, but he wimped out and wouldn't let me paint his face green.)

from the night of our party, after it was over and we were looking a little spent.

notice the awesome fear factor sign in the back. james and abby were awesome and did so much for the party!!! amy came and helped get all of the food together the day of. i absolutely couldn't have pulled this off on my own.

i wish i had better pictures of the table. i had so many compliments at church about how great the whole place looked. one couple (their opinion mattered to me) told me that it was the best party they had been to in a long, long time.

and although these pics don't do justice to brig's fantastic make-up or preston's sparkly chest, this was the *twilight* of the evening for me. i loved their costumes. mostly because we actually pulled it off. brig wore crutches and his knee was wrapped. spencer's hair was darkened black, although you can't tell, and preston had the pants, converse, and sparkly skin from the movie.

it was the best halloween we've had in years. i'm already planning what will and i want to be next year. :) and for the record- will tried to eat a worm. (chewed it and all) and i tried to get down a dog biscuit. it was far more diguisting than i had anticipated. but hey- james almost puked with a jar of baby food. so we're all pathetic.

***thanks everyone: for all of your decorating, painting, planning, shopping, baking, cape-sewing, ideas, and for coming to our party! you guys are awesome.
