Let It Go

Yes, I know it was the totally trendy thing to do this year. Yes, I knew there would be about five billion Elsas running around. But it just worked so nicely! And, to be honest, I really enjoy the movie. I could watch the first half over and over again (second half, meh). Plus, Jon was supposed to be out of town, so I needed something that I could do with or without him. And so Frozen it was!

Prince Hans loves Olaf

Not sure about that face in the top one.

He was doing it all night. Cracked me up.

Elsa, on the other hand, refused to smile.

She loved her costume, loved her sparkles and makeup.

But you wouldn't know it from the pictures...

This was before she rubbed off all the mascara and looked like a sparkly raccoon.

Olaf likes to eat rocks.

Who knew?

The only way Jon was willing to cooperate was because of this costume: 

Coolest Marshmallow ever.

Check out the glowing eyes: 

He managed to thrill the older Elsas at the party and 

terrify the youngest ones.

My Anna dress.

Possibly the first time I've put more work into my own costume

than I put into Jon's. The details on the skirt were killer...

Frozen Bloods

The only way to keep Olaf happy was to feed him suckers while Anna passed out candy.

He ate an entire Tootsie Pop (full-sized!) and started on another.

He and I were a disgusting, sticky mess by the end of the night.
