Happy Halloween!

Tis' the day of the year where everyone is encouraged to pretend to be someone else for the day! We opted to go with Bridgerton as out theme this year - and I think we did quite a good job with it! I will say that my dress is sooo long - I need four inch heels just to get it to lie even with the ground.

  

It's important to note that I don't have four inch heels - so my dress has drug along behind me all day long! I even drug some crispy brown leaves into the office on my train this morning, ha-ha! I suppose I will drag my dress along behind me for the rest of the day and hang it up in hopefully decent shape at the end of this Halloween day! 

I figured to honor this happy Halloween holiday - I'd share a look back at the Halloween costumes of the past! 

 

2022 had two costumes - I dressed as Penny from Top Gun alongside my fiancé (husband now) who was dressed as Maverick! We attended a Halloween Party on the 30th and I dressed as Winifred Sanderson alongside my friends Meridith as Mary and Danielle as Sarah... a classic! 

No costumes for 2021 - I guess because Halloween fell on a Sunday, it was every man for himself! It was frigid that year and so I sat in the driveway in all my warm things bundled up and snuggled close with Watson! 

Halloween 2020 was they year of COVID Halloween - so our Founding Fathers costumes included masks! George Washington, Benjamin Franklin and Alexander Hamilton at your service! I kept my feather pen handy to write the Federalist Papers if necessary...

Halloween 2019 was a continuation of our costumes from 2017 - we all dressed as characters from Game of Thrones - but in death. We made a pact that if all three characters we dressed as died, we'd dress in the manner of their death... So Melisandre was fading away to ash - Cersei was under a pile of rubble and Daenerys had a knife in her gut. Good times. Good times.

Halloween 2018 was an easier costume to pull off - we dressed as members of Star Fleet! We had our Commander in Red, our Security forces in Yellow and our Science officer (and Vulcan) in the Blue. This costume is somewhere buried away in the boxes I have; it was by far the easiest to pull off and the most comfortable to wear! 

The costume of choice in 2017 was our Game of Thrones characters in their original and very much alive states! We dressed as Daenerys, Melisandre and Cersei - complete with her ever present glass of wine (grape juice). These costumes were some of our best and really turned out so great! So great that we repeated them - somewhat - just two years later!

And somehow in all my pictures - I've lost the picture(s) of the first time we dressed as the Sanderson Sisters for Halloween! What a trick that is! Oh well! 

Happy Haunting and Happy Hunting (for candy) to everyone who celebrates!
