Murder Mystery Party

     For the past two years Paul and I have done a Murder Mystery party with our friends for Halloween. Last year it was 1920's Chicago Caper themed. This year, we had a Hawaiian Luau! It was a hoot, thats for sure! Because Paul and I did a Hawaiian Luau wedding reception, we had TONS of decorations to deck out our apartment with. By the time we took the pictures all our awesome decorations died, but before everyone came over they looked pretty cool! :)
    We have made really good friends with our neighbors just up the sidewalk from us, Ray and Shay Martel. They introduced us to the Ada and Dion Munk, (who used to live right by us also), and Aaron and Taylor Remer. We have developed some awesome friendships with these three couples so, when you get all of us together, there is no telling what will happen. Paul and I thought that it would crazy fun if all of us were together trying to solve a murder.
     Paul got to dress up like a hawaiian tourist, I was a native Hawaiian hula dancer, Shay was a bodacious swimsuit model, Ray was a surfer dude, Taylor was a ridiculously rich, fancy woman, and Aaron was Chief Wiki-Wiki. You can guess by his name that he was the island chief right? Anyway, the food was great, the company was great, and it was so fun to see how everyone got into their characters. By the end of the night, we had a murderer, it was one of our six guests, but I am so not going to give it away. If you want to know who was the killer, you gotta play the game!


      This is the whole crew all together! Don't we look like a crazy bunch of people? 

A few days before Halloween Paul and I decided to carve our pumpkin. We had grown our beautiful pumpkin in our garden and had waited a few months to be able to carve it. Anyway, we were having a hard time deciding what to carve. Paul wanted one thing I wanted another. Finally, we came to an agreement which involved bringing out the geeky-ness in both of us.

      Two hours later our beautiful masterpiece was complete. It wasn't as perfect as we wanted it to be, but it was still pretty sweet!
