My early Halloween party was a success! As usual, I had a houseful, but we managed to squeeze everyone in and we all had a good time.
How could you not with all this great food?
 |
Veggies and ranch dip, nuts, hummus and various chips,
salsa and tortilla chips, cranberries, and apples with caramel! |
 |
All HOMEMADE desserts!
Molasses-ginger animal cookies, fall leaf cookies, pumpkin pie,
pumpkin roll, pumpkin muffins, banana muffins, and pumpkin brownies! |
My guests seemed quite happy with the variety, plus there was hot cider and lots of juice and soda to drink.
So, the matter of my costume: I mentioned yesterday that I decided to dress up as one of my own characters for the first time! I dressed up as my character Dia from
Finding Mulligan.
 |
| Pretty hair, magic bracelets! :) |
|
 |
| Shh, Dia is a secret. |
|
 |
| Long white dress. |
|
 |
| No shoes! Very important! |
|
My guests had some very cool ideas themselves. Here are some of the fun characters who came to my little party.
 |
| Brent as "Sexy Yoda" |
|
 |
| Derek as a steampunk pilot |
|
 |
| Joy as Princess Bubblegum |
|
 |
| Michael as a pirate |
|
 |
| Shelby as Chihiro |
|
 |
| Victor as a Renaissance guy |
|
 |
And James as smokin', drinkin'
Jesus H. Christ. |
My friend Jeaux just wore a shirt that says "ask me about my zombie costume" (which has a zombie face on the inside that you can pull up over your face), and Eric and Yasmin didn't dress up, and James's kindergarten daughter was a tiger. (She was quite scary and kept threatening to eat everyone.)
Now that all the preparation for that is over with, it's back to life for me! I have some stuff to do for Asexual Awareness Week this week and some writing projects to work on. Well, and a lot of pie to eat.
Hah, dressing up as your own character sounds like so much fun. I kind of want to try it next year: grow my hair really long, dye it red (or get a wig), and find a complicatedly awesome pirate get-up. Admittedly, the character I'm speaking of is a foot taller than I am but that won't stop me D<
ReplyDeleteI loved having Halloween parties with my friends, though we never got to have delicious treats because no one really baked. @_@ SAD.
I think this year I might go to a frat party. I love Halloween but going to a college party might just make me miss my friends even more Dx (oh well. Maybe in a twist the frat party will have some homemade treats?)
This looks awesome! And the food is making me hungry!
