Halloween We Honor Thee!

I know, its ridiculous to post about Halloween this close to Thanksgiving - but I'm thankful for Halloween - so lay off on the judging and such.
Halloween night - such an amazing night to be alive. Jason and I spent the evening preparing the home for the Hallows Eve bash of the year!
This included classic goods like my internationally famous sugar cookies (with raisins and candy corns) and caramel popcorn.
One of the first guests to arrive was the Coles. They had appropriately dressed up as the Bobbitts (think back 15 years to non-stop news coverage). This included bloody crotch stain, censored bar and hatchet.
But most importantly, the costume included a severed member. Amazing. Bravo Coles. Subsequently, they would win best costume award for the night.
The Seevs came as a Foosball players - genius with the sticks guys. Genius.
Chunqing came as a severed head, which I loved. She sure had a hard time eating though.
The Romney's came as Sarah Palin and he as Mitt Romney. This was an appropriate costume because her name is Sarah and his is Romney.
Stick men. Classic idea! All you need is white clothing and some electrical tape. I love it.
Sushi family! The pillows on the back are rice, wasabi on the head and tuna bodies. I love the seaweed wrap around the body to hold it all together.
Baby sushi. Wow. So precious. Even babies should participate in Halloween.
Chunqing, Liz and Don dressed up as the Donner Party. Liz was the blistering winter snow, Don was death, and Chunqing was the meal of human flesh. Way to concept and bring it all together.
Patrick was a Roman emperor or god or Caesar. Either way, he commanded power and respect all night. Not pictured is Tracy (how did we miss getting a picture of Tracy as this party?) as a baseball player/fan and Ellie as a hipster from NY who is visiting the Mulcocks!
I was super impressed how many people dressed up this year, not all of whom are pictured. We watched some of my horror movies, with Til' Death getting a surprise standing ovation this year. People were really loving that one in '09. I swear they go in seasons.

Wow. Well, I'm glad that Til Death is getting the attention it's deserved for years.

And, I'm loving the Bobbitts.

Don looks less like death and more like Frank the Bunny!
