Third Annual Ridiculous Costume Night

Just as I am putting costume pictures on my blog, I am also getting in the Christmas spirit. We are going to get decorating soon, and so I thought I'd go ahead and start trying out different layouts for the joyful season approaching.
Here are some pictures on my computer of the annual costume party that the Willingham's have every year. We had it November 1st this year. There was a moonwalk for the kids, a big meal, majic tricks (presented by Daniel Willingham dressed as David Hasselhoff), and kareoke (as always). Normally I take a bunch of pictures and video, but this year I hardly even took one.. so I don't have much to show for how great everyone did with the dressing up. Everyone who comes normally gets really into it - like start thinking about next years costume before this one is over with. It has been a time to get together and basically just laugh a lot. The previous two years, Russell's brother Daniel has won. In year one he was Michael Jackson, in year two he was Fidel Castro, which is the costume that barely won out against Russell's Rod Stewart (as pictured below).


This year Russell went all out and went with Serena Williams (you can't see the tennis racket, stuffed booty in the biker shorts, or the tennis shoes). 
However, to everyone's surprise, both he and Daniel were beat out by Russell's oldest brother Jason, as Dog the Bounty hunter. Here he is with Lauren who won for the girls as Ugly Betty. The lens was a close up so you couldn't see the whole costume, but they were pretty good. The trophies are the big prize for first place. Who wouldn't want one of those??

Here is Daniel and Kimberly as David Hasselhoff and Richard Simmons (complete with chest and armpit hair), with their daughter Kinley as Cinderella. You can't really see good enough to do it justice.

Here is Emma as a fairy princess eating ice cubes..

and Abby in her fairy castle.

Unfortunately, a picture of me as Tanya Harding could not be posted due to technical difficulties....
