Reason #7: Halloween!

Friday night was our 2nd Annual Halloween Party and I have to say, we pulled off a pretty good shindig. We didn't have access to the great barn that we used last year, but almost better...we had access to a creepy cabin nestled in the middle of the forest which meant that once your vehicle was parked, you had to take a little walk to get to the cabin. One may have been accompanied on their walk by ghoulish creatures like this... Or come upon a sight such as this...

or this...

Or the creatures of the night may have howled and hissed ...



Once you arrived to the cabin (that's if you made it there alive)...you were greeted by a festive table full of delicious food, like real chicken fingers...

or kitty litter...


And then there were the costumes...

Janessa and Mitchell Couch ie. balloon boy and missing child


Josh and Melissa Merritt...hell's angels

Ben and Stacey Wolfe...trustworthy, loyal, helpful...yeah, yeah!




I'm the blood sucking attorney (notice the fangs?) accompanied by my client

Curtis and Amy Updike...The controversial nun and priest (yes, she's pregnant)

Corinna and Vaughn Hughes...damsel in distress and dragon


Ryan and Heidi Janeway...just scary??

Angela and Byron Grossnickle...KISS, Milli Vinilli, take your pick




Gabe and Dave Jensen...Laura Ingells and the Tooth Fairy


Matt and Melissa Rohbock...Victorian zombies...no, that's not my camera...those are contacts


Jason and Tammy Stadelman...off to Wonderland

Emily and Patrick Laing...goin' goth!

Scott and Lynne Nielsen...a wigger, a pimp, disco tech owner, I'm not sure and a soldier
There were good laughs, games, costume contest and a big bonfire along with fifty of our good friends. Can't wait til next year! It only keeps getting better!

Oh my gosh, I LOVE your friends! Seriously, I love people that totally get into it and go all out. Your party looked awesome! I think we need to spend a Halloween with you guys one year. It's my favorite holiday out of the entire year.

That party looks fantastic! You guys really know how to do it right. And I LOVE your costumes! Jason looked priceless, and you manage to make fangs sexy. Priceless! Oh, and Ethan was Darth Vadar...too bad he and Max couldn't have sparred.
