Costume Party

Tonight, we all headed out to a halloween party that Randy's boss' put on every year. Since this is our first year with the company, we didn't know what to expect since it was technically a halloween "costume" party. There was to be a $100 reward to the best costume but even so, Randy & I didn't dress up. But we did dress the boys up & they enjoyed that! We just used what we already had on hand for dress up, so Jackson was a cowboy & Eli wore an army "flight suit." I don't know the technical name for that, but Randy kept calling him "Top Gun" (even though i think that was the airforce - but that is just details, right?) Here they are, all ready to go...

Once we were at the party, it was COLD! They had lots of food & fires going, but we were still COLD! They boys ended up wearing coats over their costumes & the cowboy had & sunglasses were ditched almost immediately! Jackson was a little unsure of the electronic witch that was stirring her pot & cackling as we entered & a little unsure of a few of the costumes at first, but after we got him fed & the hostess gave them each a bucket of halloween candy, they loosened up pretty well!

If you are wondering who took the prize for the best costume... she won it hands down.... drum roll please...... who is she dressed as?????You got it! Governor Sarah Palin! It was such an awesome costume that i couldn't help but to pose next to her! Who wouldn't want a picture next to the governor? I asked her if she had any idea her costume would be so popular & she said that no, she was in fact a little nervous about showing up in it. Apparently though, the majority of the guests are Republicans! I guess this is one way to find out!She wore a pin that said "Election 2008" & another that read "McCain/Palin" & carried a gun & a baby. The baby was wearing a pin that said "God Bless America" - it was a GREAT costume! We of course, voted for her! (pun intended! hee hee)
