Halloween 2014

It's Halloween again! My daughter is now a little over a year old and very busy. Halloween was a completely new (and wonderful) experience. Here are the costumes for this year:

A serval. Since basically no one knows what a serval is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serval

This gorgeous costume was made by my friend Malynda's mom, Lorna. Thank you so much!

Zookeeper and serval. (A guy at Boo at the Zoo mistook me for an actual zookeeper. I couldn't figure out why he was asking me where the frozen leopard was (pretty sure he meant snow leopard). Chris finally said "she doesn't work here" and the guy said "but her shirt says 'zoo staff'". :)

Cartman

Magnum P.I.

Greg as...a skeleton? Amazing mask that he made himself. Very impressive in person.

Optimus Prime. Greg made this one too.

The queen 

Natasha, Boris, and Dudley Do Right

A dwarf and a plague doctor. These costumes are handmade by Diane. Wow!

Vikings

Flapper girl

The Dude and Sheldon

Viking vs. Dwarf

Unimpressed by the angry Viking.

As usual, I'm so impressed by our friends' creativity. Hope you all enjoyed it too!

Halloween 2013

Halloween was very different for Chris and I this year because we now have a 2 month old precious baby girl to share it with. We did a lot more kid friendly things. We also went to our friends' Halloween party but only made it a little less than 2 hours before baby girl decided it was time to go home. Here are the group's costumes!

Geoff and Grayson as pirates and Malynda as a scarecrow.

Our jack-o-lantern

Emma in her Halloween outfit

Grayson as an astronaut was very tired so this is the only picture I got of them. 

Ryan as murder victim? and Diane as scary Paula Dean. 

Bronson as Luchidor and Tera as a zombie bride.

Ryan and Paige as Doug and Bob from Strange Brew

Chris as a sumo wrestler and Greg as Colonel Sanders.

Me as a Japanese woman (not a geisha cause I didn't do the makeup or cool hair), Chris as a sumo wrestler, and Emma as sushi.

Sera as The Fox and Greg as Colonel Sanders.

Emma as sushi.

Halloween 2012

Ahhh....Halloween 2012. Our costumes this year tended to have a lot of pop culture references so I'll be adding links to things on here in case you don't understand the costumes.

 

Malynda was an ecard. http://www.someecards.com/

 

 

Geoff was Archer on a rampage. Archer is a cartoon. I don't know how to explain it.  http://archer.wikia.com/wiki/Terms_of_En-Rampagement

 

Sera was a witch on the first night.

 

 

Honey Boo Boo photobombing with Malynda.

 

Ryan, Paige and Tera. Paige and Tera were 70's roller girls. Ryan was Chest Rockwell.

Geez, I can't imagine why Chris looks so excited! We took Guinness (previously dressed as a spider web before he wiggled the whole thing off) to Petco for a pet costume contest. We will never do that again.
