Costume partaaay!

Posted on | October 28, 2012 | 3 Comments

We had our first halloween bash on Thursday. I was pretty nervous going into it: waaaay more people rsvp'd than I expected, all with multiple kids, & I wasn't sure our house would accommodate that many people (especially if it rained). Fortunately the weather was clear & less people showed up than I expected... so it was a very stress free night for me, surprisingly!

My hubby has a nerdy passion for Star Wars, so after much thought we decided to play some of the best characters. A friend of mine knitted Hazel the Yoda hat - so so so kind!

Two of our best friends dressed up as characters from 'The Labyrinth' - the Goblin King, Hoggle, and baby Toby. Pretty sure these were the more EPIC photos of the night - agreed?

Another family dressed up as a zombie cheer squad, they looked amazing! Sadly Hazel frowned and started crying whenever she saw Art, the dad in the photo below.

It was interesting how quickly the night went, but I suppose that is to be expected when mostly families of school age children show up. Brad and I were dumbfounded when everyone was gone at 9 pm & it looked like a tornado went through the house (we've previously only had adult parties, where it goes until at least 11!). But that's the life with a baby, huh?

Someone was tuckered out by the end of the night (as you probably noticed in that first shot as well.. ;)

Regardless of how quick and messy it was, I think we'll be doing this again next year!

It looks like you had a blast and your costumes are amazing! Funny how things change so much with having a baby but I wouldn't change it for the world.

April,
So glad you guys had such a good time! :)
I LOVE your costumes! And the yoda hat is darling.

Thanks again for inviting us and sorry we couldn't make it. (And I got the dates mixed up when I wrote you I think it already happened, oops. Mama brain.)

Your family is so adorable in your costumes together.

Love,
Taryn
