Halloween Party

Last night was our ward Halloween party. Everyone dressed up in their costumes and went to the church for dinner, games, and trick-or-treating around the cultural hall. Mariah was Tinkerbell, Tyler was a Roman soldier, and Shawn was a medieval sorcerer. I decided to take advantage of my short hair so I was my husband, David. I combed my hair like a guy, put on a white shirt and tie, brown dress pants, David's socks, black loafers, and drew a mustache and goatee on my face. Then I went around the room shaking hands and introducing myself as David Tatton.

For a few weeks after David was released from the bishopric, he grew a mustache and goatee. It was a joke between him and his best friend that when he was released he would rebel and the facial hair was a sign of that rebellion. He looked really good but decided to shave it off after 2 weeks. I didn't look very much like David but everyone loved the idea. One sister even did a double take when she didn't recognize me at first. Every year we have a lot of people who don't attend church in our ward who come with family, friends, or neighbors to the party. I think all she saw was the white shirt and tie and assumed that I was a new man in the ward. I enjoyed all the comments and laughs that I received from everyone.
