Good Morning Internet,
Just wanted to take a brief moment to check in with you and perhaps clear my mind a bit. So yes, above you will see a photo of my "Strong Man" Husband... and me as a "Mauled Lion Tamer"...this was for our 12th Annual Halloween Party last week. This party marked the end to an era....yes world this was our last "Annual Halloween Party." I'm super proud that we were able to keep it going for 12 years consecutively. It all started the first year we were dating....
2003/1st Annual ~"Traditional Halloween Theme" in a tiny one bedroom apartment
2004/2nd Annual "Traditional Halloween Theme" Schnepf Farms + tiny one bedroom apartment
2005/3rd Annual ~"Traditional Halloween Theme" at the Big Bang Piano Bar
2006/4th Annual ~"No Costume Year Theme"(year we were married) at our newly purchased Condo
2007/5th Annual ~ "Down the Rabbit Hole Theme" at Seville Golf and Country Club
2008/6th Annual~ "80s Rockstar Theme" at Dos Gringos
2009/7th Annual ~ "Studio 54 Theme" on a Party Bus + Various Locations
2010/8th Annual ~ "The Boss Calls for You Theme" at Regency Garden
2011/9th Annual ~ "Caddy Shack Theme" at Superstition Springs Golf Club
2012/10th Annual ~ "All You Need is Love, Beatles Theme" at Superstition Springs Golf Club
2013/11th Annual ~ "Traditional Halloween Party" in our new home (first year as parents)
2014/12th Annual ~" Freak Show Theme" in our home
It's so fun to think how each year marked a different milestone in life....some years were over the top with themes, some were more mild...it all depended on what we had going on that year...even through happy times, sad times, stressful times, wild times....each passing year marked a special place in time.
So yes, moving forward there will be no more "Starr Halloween Party"....all good things must come to an end right? We've just decided that October/Halloween is not the most appropriate time for us to host a big party...as it's "Wedding Season" and as our little ones grow older I'm certain October will be an eventful month in their little lives too.
But wait, what? The "tradition" ends? I hope not, neither does Justin. We're currently brainstorming some ideas as to how to keep the "themed party" tradition perhaps a different time of the year in a different kind of capacity.
Until then, we just wanted to thank all of our party goers...old friends, new friends, random friends along the way....we love you all and appreciate you participating in all the fun! And to our friends that attended last week, we hope to post some more photos tomorrow! There's some hilarious ones!!
P.S. Special Thank You to My Guy....he's not a fan of "dressing up"...unless he has tons of time to prepare his costume selection (like that time he was happiest "Yellow Submarine" anyone had ever seen)...obviously this was pre having children. I love you baby, thank you for always making my crazy ideas come to life!
Happy Friday All!
