Halloween 2010

It's that time of year again!
Mark and I have a long history with Halloween, beginning with the night we met! And since it is so dear to us, we strive each year to pay proper homage to it with due celebration.
This year it almost didn't happen, as I've been so sick and so, so tired with this pregnancy. In the end Mark was the hero and saved the day by working extra hard to make sure everything came together - and it did! Starting with our AWESOME entertainment...



Stick-figure dancing!! HILARIOUS!
(watch the movie for the full act - and yes, it's worth it)



Eddie & Tracy planned and practiced way in advance - and it sure paid off! Plus, we kept everything very hush-hush, so no one knew what was going on or who was performing or anything until it all happened, including Mark (!), who was VERY confused when I announced our entertainment and then proceeded to turn out all the lights. :)
SO AWESOME!
Thank you, Eddie & Tracy! You guys were hysterical!


The laughs continued with the great artistry and fun creativity of our attending guests...


Ginny Weasley & Harry Potter (Alaina & Jon),


a Princess w/ her knight (Matt & Meagan),


the "stick figures" (Tracy & Eddie),


Bob Marley? :) (Angela),


Sweepstakes awarder & winner (Tim & Cassandra),


Asian gang (Josh & Jinhee),

and, of course, the hosts...


Baron & Baroness Viehweg.

With the help of "This is a cat, this is a dog," full-contact "Do you love your neighbor?," "In the manner of the adverb," & "the Kevin Bacon game" (sorta), there were laughs and screams all night. And of course our traditional eat-the-doughnut-hanging-from-the-spinning-ceiling-fan game! It was a riot!
The only sad part of it all is that we don't have a house big enough to invite everyone we know. Can you imagine how fun that'd be?! Oh well. Someday, right?

Thanks again everyone who came. We had a blast.
Happy Halloween everyone!

I'm glad you keep the tradition alive. You two were smiling like cheshire cats at that first Halloween party. Looks like you had fun again this year.

You guys do the best Halloween parties. I think it's awesome that it's your tradition. The school non-Halloween party is pretty funny too. Thanks for all the pictures!
