Friday night, our dear friends the McDonalds hosted a 12th night party. We were all to dress up as historical or literary character, so we had lots of fun choosing from different movies, and books. :) It was great to see everyone put their own selves into their costumes, they were all so lovely! The night was filled with games, dancing, and laughter, and it was one of those times where every moment was a blessed memory. Memories, that will not easily be forgotten. Even as I write this, I am looking forward to the days ahead. Not only the parties that we may have, but the people we will meet, the friends we will make, and the blessings our Father has in store for us.
Even though I enjoyed all the costumes, I'd have to say that this pair was my favorite!
Mary Poppins, and Bert...the chimney sweep!
Well aren't we enthused?
Zorro and Robin Hood playing their hand at dutch blitz....
...while the Bennett sisters cream the others in Scattagories.
The beautiful table with the King cake, completed with some hot drinks!
"Drop your sword."
Josiah went as Wesley, while Lenna went as the darker haired version of Buttercup.
They make quite the pair! :)
Now these are the guys to keep your eyes on. Al Capone and his personal side-kick.
Here are some lovely ladies! The Bennett sisters and Marian Dashwood, with Miss Beth from Little Woman.
Indiana Jones with his darling wife, aren't they just adorable?
Well look who we have here! Our own personal Newsies! Though they look like they've been reading the news a little too much, I suggest the comics. :)
Okay, either Al Capone grew allot or Lucy shrunk. Because something in this picture is not right at all. ;)
Bond...James Bond.
They say that the party don't start until these guys walk in, but all I see is Trouble. With a capital "T".
The King cake with a coffee bean in it. Who will find it, be the winner, and crowned King?
Congratulations, Zachary! :)
Who better to call the dances then Mary Poppins herself? Though for some reason she does look a bit worried...
Let the dancing, and merriment begin!
"I could have danced all night, and still begged for more..."
Jesse James: "So after heroically saving the girl, she gave me this flower. Cool huh?" Al Capone: "Yeah, sure. Y'all come back now, ya hear?"
