"A Little Bit of Halloween Early"

We just had our Annual Hazen Halloween Party. I love Halloween and the opportunity it gives us adults to dress up, have fun and act like kids again. I don't think we really grew up all the way anyways. We filled the night with eating lots of good soup and treats, talking and enjoying the company and the best of all laughing and admiring everyone's great costumes. Some brave souls even sang Karaoke! This year Rob and I dressed as Sarah and Todd Palin. I pulled off a mean updo and worked those glasses but, my Alaskan accent needed work. Rob looked good as an Todd the "Alaskan Outsdoors-man". He portrayed him perfectly by dutifully taking care of the Palin Baby. We are just glad that this year there were no fires in our back yards and we could really have some fun!

Looks like lots of fun. I always want to do a Halloween party and then I get so over it when I remember that I have a child with a birthday a week before Halloween.

Oh oh oh our picture made the post! Only it doesn't look like a bum from the side - more like a hemmorhoid! You should totally hire yourself out for parties to do Palin impersonations!

Ashley Clark said...

I never realized how much you are Sarah look alike. Are you sure it hasn't been you on SNL every week?

Nortorious said...

You totally pull off the Palin. Well done.

Ilene said...

Awesome costume idea. You totally rock the pearls.

Michelle Baird Designs said...

You make a perfect Sarah Palin, but even prettier!

I always look forward to your Halloween party. I can't stay away from the Karaoke machine though.
