Sarah, James, and June: October 2008

I love to dress up, I always have. Halloween is my Dad's favorite holidays. It is one of mine as well, mainly because it is a great excuse to dress up, have parties, and eat sweets. There are other reasons for dress up as well, we will go over these.
Here is a picture of my Halloween when I was in First Grade at Cold Springs School in Santa Barbara CA. I was a punk rocker, I am accompanied by my brothers zorro and death and my beautiful gone with the wind mom.

Now, this is not a halloween photo of my hubby...but he is a true gremlin:

Here are some other great halloween photos: first Kate and I were tree fairies of some sort

Many Halloweens at Utah State University...including James as a q-tip and me as a bat, I have to say James outfit was one of the best I saw that year

the seniors from the 70's

the roomies from the 80's, this outfit included ugly dancing

juniors in saran wrap dresses with bubble wrap finishes

sophomore Harley Girls, fran my cousin is the punk on the left

and freshman firefighters (we went to the fire station and sweet talked our way into borrowing our outfits!)

Now... onto other reasons to dress up:
No, this next picture is not a costume...but it does highlight my leather peace sign necklace I never took off and my awesome taco bell fannypack.

Or the Family Photo is another great reason to dress up in color coordinated outfits:

Front and center, green dress

far left, fake pearl earrings

(note the incredible collar on this one ! front center again)

Then there are dance performances: I was Puck in midsummers night dream...nothing like leotards

Then there is dressing up for Birthday Parties! This was Ashley Sanders and I turn 41. A dress up party, ash was covered in feathers attached by honey and I was a rose.
