If anyone knows my mother, they know she is crazy about holidays. Any holiday, but especially Halloween. Our party rivals Christmas! This year we had a Hawiian luau!!
ALOHA!
This is a photo of the kids playing in the dry ice before dinner. Sorry the pictures are dark. I intended to lighten them, but at this point I'm lucky to get them up here at all.
Grandma always has a few crafts for the kids. They made some colorful sand pens and tiny sand castles.
The dinner always revolves around the party theme. We had tons of fruit, pineapple, coconut, seafood.... if you eat it in Hawaii, it was available here! Yummy dinner! My brother Scott & his wife Karen made the bamboo/grass hut that was the buffet table. Good work guys!
Everyone dresses up and tries to out-do each other every year. Nobody ever "wins" the unspoken dress-up contest because everyone looks awesome! Our family went as the 4 kids in Narnia- The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe: Aaron was Peter, I was Susan, Corinne was Lucy and Landon was Edmond.
Scott was Luigi and Karen was a Hawiaan beauty
The parents were tourists. Thanks for hosting another GREAT Halloween party mom & pop! We all loved it.
Who the heck are these guys? They silently enjoyed the party from the corner.
Lynn and Denise (Brad's parents) were a tourist couple complete with "hello, my name is Lynn/Denise (respectively)" It was awesome!
Mario & Karla were Mark Anthony & Cleopatra, AJ was Mr Popsworth (the hat was made out of pop cans!) Audrey was a pirate, Ian was black spider man, and Alicia & Isaac were Dora & Diego.
Diane, Rob & Shay were Bill, Hillary & a little puppy. Shay HATED the masks! She was crying because they wouldn't put her down (so she could run away) and they wouldn't let her pull off their masks (which is what she did all night long). Diane said "So in the end, we're all dogs"
Cristy & Brad had these blow up costumes: a witch on a ghost, and a Sumo wrestler. I laughed my head off when I saw Brad. He had to walk sideways down the hallway. Tyler was Indiana Jones, Kayden was a black ninja, Mikinley was a ballerina, and Adam & Dillon were Cookie Monster & Elmo.
It was great! We lauged and ate and played great games... It was so much fun! So next year it's all planned out: We will have a Mexican fiesta! Andale Muchachos! Nos vemos el proximo ano para divertirnos otra vez!
