So, I was in Wenatchee during Halloween weekend for my cousin's wedding, and unfortunately Joe had to stay home since he works on Saturdays. So, I was alone this year for most of the Halloween festivities. Luckily, my cousin, who loves holidays almost as much as I do, invited me to the Halloween party she was attending, and of course I jumped at the chance!
We had a bunch of great costumes among all the partygoers, and I had so much fun. I asked my cousin what she was dressing up as, and she was all, "Oh, I'm just a referee." Yeah, right:
haha! Everyone was cracking up at her costume! (And there's me, the bunny!)The party was held in a friend's garage. The garage was wallpapered with Halloween scenes - it was very cool and very well done. Outside there was a bonfire with haybales to sit on.

This is my cousin's boyfriend, who ROCKED his Buddy the Elf costume.
The next morning I woke up at 6:00 a.m. missing my husband terribly, so I headed back to Seattle before the sun even came up (very unlike me!). I got home around 9:00 and Joe and I spent the day lounging on the couch. (It was also our three week anniversary, so I really wanted to spend the entire day with him, which I got to do.) We hoped for trick-or-treaters but didn't get any, and watched "The Crazies", which was actually a scary movie with a good plot. Who knew?
Overall, I wish Joe would have been able to join in on the festivities, but I thought it was a very successful Halloween!
I hope everyone else enjoyed their Halloween.
And now I'm moving on! While I know Thanksgiving is technically next, I now pronounce this Christmas season! Bring on the colored lights, unique ornaments, bell ringers, Santa Claus, and holiday cheer! This is my favorite time of year!

Yay for Christmas. I'm trying to get in the spirit myself since in Canada we had Thanksgiving last month. Ho ho ho.
ReplyDeleteLove the costumes, by the way. The creativity of others never ceases to impress. Happy belated Halloween!
Okay, I will admit it: I don't do costumes. BUT, I love it that others do! Those were all great, especially the referee one. Yes, this is my favorite time of the year too - especially because soon it will mean another beautiful tree to decorate and Xmas cookies - yum!
ReplyDelete@Kristine Thanks for stopping by! Happy belated Thanksgiving! :)
ReplyDelete@Kim I know, it's so exciting! All the fun traditions and festiveness. And I know everyone says everyone is grumpy during Christmas because of all the stress, but I never see that. I always see people more thoughtful and gracious. Love it!
It is an annual holiday observed on October 31, which commonly includes activities such as trick-or-treating, attending costume parties, carving jack-o'-lanterns, bonfires, apple bobbing, visiting haunted attractions, playing pranks, telling scary stories, and watching horror films.
