Halloween Party at our 'New' Home

On Halloween we decided to have a few close family and friends over to celebrate. We hosted a costume party (which I have always wanted to do) and passed out candy to the children in our neighborhood. Because of where we live, I figured we would get buses of children, but we ended up getting a pretty small amount compared to what I had in mind (thus the large basket of candy that resides in our living room...and yes I pick from it! :) We had fun watching Ryan scare the older children with his wolf mask and Justin scare them by laying half under the car stiff as a board as they walked up our path-silly, I know, but we have some hysterical photos! All in all it was a fun and relaxing evening with friends!

A shout out to:
My Mom for helping with the decorations-they were adorable!
Melissa for the wonderful photography and scrumptious dip
Jaime and Jared for being good sports and dressing up in Friends theme with us
Meredith and Ryan for making yummy drinks and supplying us with wine for our next event-the cookie party-yeah!

The four of us were inspired by a Friends episode...the one where Chandler is a pink bunny (Justin) and Monica is cat woman (Me) , Ross is Sputnik aka "space duty" (Jared) and Rachel is a "girl who bought a very expensive dress and won't be able to fit in it soon." It was one of those ideas that just came about from casual conversation, and before you know it you're actually doing it! It was very fun and I must say, I was very impressed with Jared's costume. I know, I know...I do not look much like cat woman...I tried to pull it off last minute because the thought of cat woman, aka spandex, did not spark much interest. Nonetheless, we had great fun and played the friends episode in the background...good times!







This picture just cracks me up!
