So technically, we know, Jon didn't have to wear a costume at all. Either way, he would've been Jon Smith. But Melissa insisted we suit up as Pocahontas the indian brave and John Smith the courageous explorer captain guy since Jon's had the name his whole life and never, until this day, taken full advantage of the jokes he hears so frequently. We walked into the ward party totally late because that's when we get off work, and in ten minutes we won the adult costume contest. We have no idea how that happened, but the props really go to Melissa's mom for her late hours of work with us to finish our costumes while we were in Utah earlier this month. And we're not even cute little kids that she could take out trick-or-treating. That's love. Our ward is awesome though, and so many people were costumed up, so that made it a lot more fun than Jon had thought it might be to go all out for halloween.
The second photo was taken with Melissa's dad when he flew into DC on halloween night and we wanted to don the festive apparel once more for good measure. And we wanted to show up like that at the airport just to be funny. Good to see you Dad...life's always better when you throw a frosty into your night.
