Saturday, our close friend, Jenn, turned thirty. As long as I've known her, she has struggled to let go of some of her childhood loves, like roller skating, 80's music, any kind of group game, and (evidently) dressing up for Halloween. She decided that she wanted to celebrate her initiation into a new decade with a murder mystery party--roaring 20's style! We received our character descriptions via email. Will was cast as Notorious Nick, the powerful yet sleazy mob boss. I was cast as his gold-digging, actress-wanna-be fiancé, Molly Moll. We searched online and found some somewhat reasonably priced costumes and had fun preparing for the party. Anna didn't quite know what to think about her mommy and daddy putting costumes on for a party, but was so excited when we were all dolled up. When she saw me fully garbed, she said "Oh, Mommy, you look like a princess!" Ha! If she only knew!
We had a great time at the party. There was some good-hearted black mailing going on which made it fun. Will ended up being the murder victim and our friend Paul was the mysterious murderer! It was definitely unlike anything we have done before and a new experience for the books. Happy Birthday to Jenn, my flapper friend!
