My 21st
SO I turned 21 about a month ago, and I had a party, with lots of family and friends. It was in the courtyard of the church (because I felt weired having my party in the main church, it’s so big it would dwarf us. Unfortunately it was raining, but the court yard is (mostly) covered so no one got (too) wet.
We had purple and red helium balloons, in bunches around the edge, and tables with red table cloths, and purple table runners. I had wrangled some damaged books set to be chucked from work, and Dad drilled holes in them so they were candle holders.
It was a literary trivia night, and I asked everyone to come dressed as book characters.
I was Cherry Ames, a Nurse who solves crimes. The books were written around WWII (in fact Cherry was an army nurse for a while) Here is me
This is Erin with her awesome costume as a timewyrm, something from a doctor who book.
This is Natasha, my step-mother as Mary Poppins, her mother Leslie as Miss Marple, and Natasha’s niece Abby as Alice in Wonderland. (family ties are so confusing, is she my step-cousin or my stepmother’s niece?)
This one had my grandmother on dads side who is Margret Fulton (she had a rolling pin and everything) Rhys, Abby’s brother as Darth Vader (I didn’t have the heart to say that Darth Vader was in a film before he was in a book) Uncle Jack as Huck Finn, and others in the background.
My sister (who always look better than me damn her) is Snow White, and me laying down the rules.
Kynan as Alice in Wonderland (he’s such a pretty girl isn’t he?) Lara as the Mad Hatter and Bec as Keladry of Mindelan.
Can you spot Peter Pan, and Where is Jess… I mean Wally?
Look at Zeus and the Loggods
And here is Meaghan as Max from Where The Wild Things Are
Me with GiGI and Camille
Timmy Rhiannon and I
Me and my mother who was (?) the French lieutenant’s wife
And there was a bunch more of awesome costumes. It was great fun!
