Friday was Halloween and so we had the annual Dr. Oktober’s Falloween Frolic as my husband Rick has named it. It’s our annual Halloween party. This years party didn’t disappoint. My husband Rick is a huge fan of the holiday and so I have joined in with his celebration. It was a little difficult for me to get behind the idea of a costume party, but I am glad I have. I was always the person in the ghost costume at Halloween, aka a white sheet over my head. I did this because I could never decide what to wear and it was easy. Now we have started planning our costumes at least six months in advance. It is fun and Rick really enjoys it. This year I was a geisha and he was a ninja. I set up a backdrop and made a studio in the garage to capture all the people in costume. We also played a game where couples competed to see which one could eat a doughnut off a string the fastest. The trick was they had to do it together without the use of their hands and they were blindfolded. Great fun ensued as you will see. That said, hear is a collection of the photos.
This is my favorite photo of the night. Chris is trying to swallow the rest of the doughnut as Joel is celebrating in the background. We ended up calling the game a tie and they both won prizes.
Wendi the geisha, Rick’s sister Sandy did my make-up. She did a great job. It was fun getting it off.
Rick as a ninja.
Chris and Lauren as McCain/Palin. They were my favorite. They came in with photocards and were campaigning. They even left a sign in our front yard.
Bobby and Kim won the contest as tree and tree hugger. Really creative.
The doughnut game isn’t the easiest if you have a height difference like Nancy and Joel. I think Joel just gobbled it all.
Until next year.
