Kick-Off to the Holidays

Who doesn't love dressing up and getting a judgment-free-nerd-alert pass once a year?! 

Thank goodness for Halloween, am i right? ;)

So Halloween day for me looked like this:

Senor Trent     //     Heid & Loyal "getting fit for the Holidays"

 As always, we had our annual Plastic Engineering Halloween Extravaganza...which means Chili Cook-off for lunch and a Creative costume party!! 

I'm always the lucky one that gets to help put our company parties together, 

(aka, make the fliers and send out emails, help gather everyone and clean up when it's over) 

and this Halloween party was once again fantastic! 

We had great participation in the creative costume contest, it was so fun to see everyone's silly sides come out and have a good time together! 

 Anna and Elsa (Josh & Jayson)     //     Granny NJ and Indiana Brett

 Heidi & Clark Kent (Ian)     //     Cowboy Tony and Senor Grant

 Maria the witch     //     Crayon Loo and my favorite Shipping & Receiving Mexicans.

 The Office Girls

Heidi, me, Jenn the nerd, Claire the nurse, and Darbie the cop

I feel so blessed to work for such a great company!

That evening, Tyler and I went to a hot dog dinner on our next-door neighbors driveway (supposedly a Sable street tradition) for a bite to eat before the Trick-or-Treating began,  then headed to my parents house to see the girls and family before making our way to a costume party hosted by one of my friends, Candace. 

(click HERE to check out her blog, she is such a cutie!!) 

A slight costume change to include the husband....

"HE'S SO FLUFFY, I'M GONNA DIE!!!"

Agnes and her Unicorn

Unicorn, Agnes, Mickey & Minnie Mouse

The Shiflet's threw a great party with fun games, excellent treats, friends, and a costume contest to end the night... and Guess who won that costume contest????

You better believe it, Agnes and her Unicorn! 

WOO HOO!! I've never won anything in my life. Thanks to Tyler for having the best costume idea, and being such a great sport about wearing such a toasty onesie all night. 

(yes you read that right...this was ALL Tyler's idea!) 

Everyone's costumes were so good, I was so impressed with all the creativity and awesome ideas.

Hope y'all had as fun of a night as we did...here's to a great kick-off of the Holiday season!
