Halloween

Here are some pics from the Andreasen Halloween party this year. The theme was “something from your childhood”.

I was a fairy this year. I used to love fairies when I was little. I thought they were real for a long time (I’m not going to tell you how old I was when I decided they probably aren’t real.) Little Ava was fascinated that we both had wings. After looking all over town for fairy wings only to find that all stores were sold out, I made my own with that really thick sticky plastic wrap, hangers, and glitter glue. Not the best, but it works.

Benj was a nerd for Halloween. Although I don’t think he was nerd when he was a child :)

My mother was Mrs. Brady. She was liking the idea of having Alice to do all the dirty work.

My dad was Race Bannon from Johnny Quest.

My little brother Joseph was Paul Bunyon. When Joseph was little he would watch the short Disney film about Paul Bunyon multiple time a day. He had a small wooden axe that my dad made him and some little cardboard trees that he would set up and knock over with the axe. Seeing Joe dressed up as Paul brought back good memories.

Emily was one of the Native Americans from her favorite childhood show “Spirit: Stallion of the Cimmaron”. Isn’t she a cutie!

I don’t have pictures of everyone’s outfits, but here’s a few more fun costumes from the party:

My Aunt Shawna was one of those Style Barbie Heads. She actually wore that cardboard styling table around her whole body.

Uncle Damon was Inspector Gadget.

My cousin Mason was Strong Bad from homestarrunner.

Grandpa Gary was the old cowboy Tex Ritter.

 

Damon and Shawna organized some fun silly games.

Eat the doughnut from the string. This was for all the little grandkids.

At one point Corbin yelled out “My Doughnut Hates Me!”

My cousin Luke after the doughnut eating competition.

In this game Benj and I had one minute to stack as many chocolate  doughnuts as possible on our foreheads. I won with 5 doughnuts.

In this game my mom and my aunt Nikki had to knock over a plastic cup with the ball inside the panty hose on their heads.

There were a bunch of other fun games. They were hilarious to play and watch. For a movie of the party, check out my uncle’s Youtube channel, Olinselot.
