Annual Halloween Party

Layne and I got invited again to the Cook's annual Halloween Party. It's just a big excuse for a bunch of grown adults to get together, look and act like idiots, and have a great time.

This year the theme was the '60's. They did a murder mystery again (...luckily I wasn't the murderer this time). I was supposed to be "Aurora Astral," a hippie who believes strongly in the psychic auras and energy of all living things. I apparently practice astrology, tarot and I Ching divination and I seek to cleanse my body of negative karma and impurities. Layne was "Juan Valdez," the Columbian coffee enthusiast who manufactures and sells organic coffee beans.

We had a great time and as you can imagine the costumes were hilarious!!! Everyone really puts a lot of time and energy into making this a very fun party each year. Thanks for keeping the invitations coming....we had a GREAT time and look forward to more Halloween fun in the future.










After the party, we stopped by Shanna and Mark's Halloween bash to get in on a little of their fun as well. Unfortunately, we missed most of the party but we were able to check out their awesome haunted house. It was truly unbelievable!!! There certainly wasn't anything spared in making their party a hit. There really are no words to describe how well there party was done. The decorations were amazing!!! Shanna worked her tail off for several weeks to make it happen and I think she did a fantastic job. Thanks for inviting us as well....Sorry that we were late.
