"Two Nights, Two Parties"

Party #1:

A herd of My Little Pony boys.

Favorite costumes of the night. Truly.

They even had little charms taped to their... "flanks"...

Alright, I'm stopping there.

The dance was 10x more fun than I ever thought it could be.

My ward is full of dancin' beasts!

{And an Edward Cullen, apparently!}

Party #2:

Halloween is a favorite; it's one of the best.

{Though my #1 holiday is New Year's!}

The McCabes and I meandered up to Salt Lake for a little ghost hunting.

Jeanie caught some "orbs" in her photos. Pretty wicked. :)

After the ghost hunt, I drove back to the valley and met up with more chums.

And we partied a little bit. :)

Nate totally won the prize for awesome that night.

Ghoul love.

{Minnie loves everybody...}

I wanted to be a pirate this year, so I loved Kevin's costume {almost} the best.

But of course everyone else looked fantastic. ;)

Because I'm a bimbo {means "poor" in Japanese... and something else entirely in American}, I went as a forest fairy thing {not a pirate}.

...Posing isn't my forte. Apologies for the face-making.

But the makeup was loads of fun to do. :)

{I love to experiment.}

After the party, some friends stuck around to watch episodes of Supernatural.

It was so scary, I made Edison sleep in my room afterwards.

{This is why big puppies are my favorites.}

How anyone could go near an old, creepy house where someone was murdered is beyond me.

Real ghost hunters are either the bravest people out there, or complete nutters.

Or maybe I'm just a big baby.
