Adults Turn

We had the pleasure of hosting a Halloween Party for us adults.  If you haven't figured it out by now, I LOVE hosting parties.  Planning the menu, decorations, place settings, etc, I thrive off of it.  Once the party starts I have fun, but then it ends and all my hard work is over, I get a little sad.  That is why I take pictures to remember it. :)  I had a lot of help from my friend Ashley, Preston made the main course and everyone pitched in with the food- so it wasn't nearly as stress full this time around.  Ashley even came by today to help clean up.  Hooray!

Here is the main 'dining room'

Dessert Table

                 Appetizers.  Ashley made those little puppies- picture an oreo cake ball meets truffle. I'm not sure how many I ate....

                                        I loved the lights

          We had our kids and a couple others, so we bribed them with their own party upstairs. :)  I set up the carnival games from the week before, popcorn spiked with candy corn, goodie bags with treats and cheap toys... movies.  They were super good and played really well together.

 So this is Ashley.  Around this time of year I get to use what I went to school for- Theatrical make up.  She went as the Corpse Bride.  The pictures don't do it justice- it totally rocked.  I loved this picture and had to highlight how awesome she looked.

   Here's a better picture of her and her husband Kelly- who I personally believe is the love child of our friend Travis and Dave K.  Seriously.  But you can't tell in this picture too well. :)

   Here is like the only shot of me of the night.  I had so much fun making the finger waves in my hair and
doing the pin curls.  I really wanted a candy cigarette... boo.  If you look to the right you can see Preston.  He was going to be my partner in crime, but couldn't/ didn't want to spend money on the right suit.  So Preston did what he always does and put on his robe, but kept the giant cigar and fedora hat.  He rocked it.  I will give whom ever guesses what the guy to my left went as 500 points. ;)  I think he won the costume contest.  I will give you 2 hints: SNL and Justin Timberlake.
