"This is Halloween, This is Halloween"

-  Nightmare Before Christmas -

I love Halloween and usually get really into it.  The past two years I've had particularly cool costumes and fun things to do on this lovely holiday (here and here) which is why I was a little sad this time around.  Matt and I were just coming off a seminary week and realized a little too late that we wouldn't have time to dress up for the tri-ward Trunk-or-Treat.   

(you can't see them but Matt has two black birds attached to each shoulder)

Then, as if she knew my dilemma, my good friend Chen Ying came to the rescue.  I got home from work on Friday (the night of the Trunk-or-Treat) to find that a package  from Malaysia had arrived.  I about fell off the couch when I opened it and found a beautiful mask and hair piece inside.  Chen Ying had made them for a party she went to and then sent them my way thinking I could get some use out of them before the Holiday was over.  How right she was. 

Thank you Chen Ying for making my Halloween!
