Murder Mystery Party!

Issac and I were both really stressed out and felt like we needed to have a party and try and let loose a little this year. We'd done a murder mystery party a few years ago and thought that Halloween was the perfect time to try again. (People are more willing to dress up this time of year). It was supposed to be all these famous people, invited to this mansion for dinner. It was really hard trying to disguise our house as a creepy old mansion, but we did our best.

We took care of most of the food, but asked a few to bring either an appetizer or dessert to share. We played the rounds between eating the appetizers, salad, steak and potatoes with green beans, and then dessert. I was so afraid that we wouldn't have enough food, but as always, had plenty and even some left overs.

There were 16 of us, do I decided to try and write names on these fun Halloween cups so that we could keep track of them and not share all the fun germs that going around right now. I used their character names though instead of their real names. :)

We had an appearance by Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley, Judy Garland...

Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, Groucho Marx....

Bruce Lee, Patsy Cline, Lucille Ball, Selina (the black cat)...

Ginger Rogers, Fred Astaire, John Wayne, Janis Joplin .....

Rita Hayworth, and Pete Persimmons (our police detective). Everyone had a great time and we were so happy that we decided pretty last minute to do this. I haven't laughed that hard in a very long time. We're even considering trying another one for New Year's Eve.
