I LOVE Purim!!!

Ok, seriously, I think Purim has to be one of my all time favorite holidays! If you aren't sure what Purim is, it is the celebration of when Esther saved her people from destruction. Everyone dresses up in costumes and celebrates, eats hamantashen and well has a great time!!
Last night was no exception as you will see in the following pictures:

First off, here is my little pirate!




Lyric and I (I was suposed to be a Pirate, but I turned out like a gypsy)


My mom was a "Ceiling Fan" and my dad was Hangman (aka Hamen)


Preston was a gangster


The Watkins were awesome! Nathan was Willy Wonka and court and everyone else were oompaloompas!


The Smiths were dominos


The Hippmans. Kristina was the "Esther" bunny, Dan was "Hey Man" (Hamen) and Truth was a Princess


Abby's was pretty awesome too! She was a barista and she made Korbin and Sophie's onsies herself. Korbin was breakfast blend coffee and Sophie was Tazo Tea


Jodie was Queen Esther!


Danny was white trash and Pres, once again being gangsta'


The Vandeputs: I was a gypsy, Lyric was a pirate and Jon was a soccer player. He had the most awesome Darth Vader costume with a cape and we have this Darth mask, but when he put it on, Lyric FLIPPED OUT, so he changed. I mean she would not come near him, and had tears streaming down her face and she was shaking. So he decided to be a soccer player then.
