Halloween 2011

Happy Halloween!

This year marked our 6th annual Halloween Party.  The costumes are great every year and we really look forward to what creative things our friends will come up with! 

Jimmy, Rosie and Deacon McDermott

aka:  The Smurfs!

Look at my little smurf waiting for the party to start!!  He was just about to start watching a little football on TV, something that he absolutely loves to do!!  I love his little Smurf bum!!

 Casey, Julie and Maddie Kiser

aka:  Blind surgeon with his "gangsta" wife and their little strawberry!!

 Is she not the most beautiful little strawberry you have ever seen?  I just want to squeeze all the juice out of her!!!

 

Richard, Emily and Cannon White

aka:  Ron Burgundy, Veronica Corningstone and Ron Burgundy Jr. from Anchorman

 I am sure Will Ferrell wishes he had as good a 'stache and as sweet a headpiece as Cannon!!

 Chet, Shalee, Bronx and Benson Blasucci

aka:  Woody, Jessie, Buzz and a Zot!

 Buzz was flying around too fast for me to get a good shot... perfect costume for little Bronx who is in perpetual motion!!

 I LOVE LOVE LOVE this little Zot!!!

 Brad, Niki & Camden Harris

aka:  Camden Shark's latest victims!!

 Watch out for this shark... he may look sleepy but that is all part of his brilliant scheme!!!

 Garreth and Jessica Long

aka:  ummm.... triple Z breasts in a red bra!!!  This was probably the most creative costume we have seen at our parties yet!!!  Loved it!!

 Jake, Casey and the soon to be Jara Jane Anderson

aka:  In-n-Out employees!!  Love the glasses Jake!

 Scott & Heidi Bagley

aka:  the scary monkey from Wizard of Oz and a lovely Indian princess!

Mike & Alli Harmon

aka:  a California Raisin and a Gorilla

I loved this Raisin costume... it looks even better with the hood on but unfortunately that picture is all blurry... darn it!!  Still, a pretty freaking cute costume!!

 Dave Bonnomort and his cute girlfriend, Amy

aka:  a vampire and his cute pirate wench!!

 Brian, Megan and Mikey Haymond

aka:  All Blacks New Zealand rugby player, a cowgirl and a dang cute fireman!

 Preston & Jamyn Miller

aka:  a beekeeper and his buzzing bee!!

 Jason Pye and his cute girlfriend

aka:  the T-birds from Grease!

 Classic!

 Jeff, Caitlin and Jackson Beck with Jeff's brothers

aka:  the hoop, the ball and the MVP with 2 other guys from the team!!

 Thomas McDermott

aka:  Scuba Troll??!!

 Thomas lost the mask and the wig but managed to turn his tongue blue during our Fear Factor game!!

At least it matched his costume!!

We ate Bloody Eyes-cream Sundae's

 with Vein-illa and Neopolitan Bone-Apart Icecream

Drank "Evil Spirits" (water and a yummy juice and sprite mixture)

 and everyone took home candy from the spooky candy jars!

I look forward to Halloween every year and to having our party!!  

Here's to many more parties to come!!

Now to the actual holiday...

Deacon helped carve his very first pumpkin!

 He wasn't too sure about it at first....

 ..but pretty soon he was digging in with his dad to get all the "guts" out!

 His favorite part was playing with the guts!!

 And moving them from one bowl to the other and then back again!! and again, and again!

 until he realized his hands were all gross and decided he was done playing in the pumpkin guts!!

 Shout out to Disney, here's our (much easier) version of your Mickey Mouse transfer!!

 I bought this spooky skull headband from Basket Loft... isn't it fun??!! I got so many compliments on it from trick-or-treaters and their mom's tonight... love it when the bleeding corpse brides and princesses alike can appreciate a good thing when they see it!

 Deacon was laughing hysterically with his dad.... part of it could be because he was loaded on sugar and extremely short on sleep but whatever, we loved it!!

 Here's our little smurf running around the house!  It's a good thing the shirt we found had a hood because he will wear hoods (just not hats or anything else on his head!!) so you could actually tell what he was supposed to be!! 

 Deacon's cute friend Holly came over and they were both admiring the huge amount of sugar (...and an apple) in Holly's spider treat bag!!

 Dad, dressed in his Bozeman Montana Murdoch's shirt, took Deacon to see a couple of our neighbors and do a little "trick-or-treating"... it was a perfect night to be out and about!! 

Happy Halloween!!!!
