I like to think my family is a lot of fun, and I am always excited to come home when everyone is together because we always have a great time. Over the last several years, I have gone out dancing, to a party or done something of that nature for New Years Eve. This year my brother-in-law Justin planned something I have always wanted to be apart of. A Murder Mystery Dinner.
We invited over some friends and we each got a "character" to play in the story. To add to the fun my parents took us out to a thrift store to get our costumes :) Trevor ended up liking the jacket he got for his costume that he has already worn it in "real life" haha. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, most of his clothes have holes in them anyway, and he was playing the part of an alcoholic/homeless looking caretaker, so it fits. My name was Tatiana, and I was playing the role of a hunter women who collects furs and leather :) hahaha I was there to help with the wolf problem they had going on in the town.
The gypsies... who ended up being more then they appeared. DUN DUN DUN.
Trevor being creepy.
I didn't even see he was in this picture until after I was looking at them all haha.
My mother, who was a very religious, spinster woman haha
My grandma the maid, who ended up being a vampire. Who knew she could be so scary?! I might not ever be able to look at her the same way.... hahaha.
Now on to the Kinect dance game :)
Trevor doing the "Soldier Boy!" haha
The night was such a blast. The dinner involved several murders.... yes, even I died, vampires, deranged rats and wolfs! We had the lights out for the dinner, and it was kind of like a choose your own path/story style. Justin did such a good job hosting the night and it was so much fun! I would love to be apart of another night like this.
We then topped the night off playing a dancing game on the Kinect that my mom got for Christmas. I seriously want a kinect now, those things are SO FUN. I also might just have to post the video of Trevor we got dancing.... but that might be too cruel, and he occasionally reads this blog... so I would be in trouble :) After a couple more games, some sparkling cider and a kiss, I was off to bed. Not too shabby for the start of 2012. I love my family.
I have always wanted to do one of those murder mystery dinners! Sounds like a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteFamilies are the best, huh?!

Oh my gosh this is SO CUTE. And you are such an adorable hunter. Happen to find Jacob amongst those wolves? No, old news? On to Hunger Games? Okay, then ;) .
ReplyDeleteI've done one murder mystery dinner and LOVEd it. Your theme is SO adorable, though, it makes me want to do another. And isn't the Kinect fabulous for the end of the night after themed parties? Gets out lots of energy and ends on a completely high note.
You guys are so fun! I wanna host one. Post the details!
ReplyDeletehahaha cool!!
ReplyDeleteThose murder mystery dinners look like so much fun! I love it!

@ Stephanie, That is actually my sister-in-law! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, I am so jealous! I have ALWAYS wanted to go to one of these! How does it work though? What are you reading the script from? Did they find it online?
ReplyDeleteCute! Your family seems like a ton of fun! :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to have an evening like this. It looks like you had soooo much fun!
ReplyDeleteoh my GOSH that looks like so much fun!! your family is amazing! great costumes all around :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had an amazing evening. I love your costume!
ReplyDeleteYes, your family is very fun. I wish mine would do something like this!
ReplyDeleteSo cool <3
Murder mysteries are the best! We've been to two so far, and both have been great, hilarious evenings!
ReplyDeleteYour costumes are awesome! Looked like an amazing time :)
The only murder mystery dinner I've ever been to is the kind where I was sitting in the audience (while eating dinner) and a play was going on around me. Then between Acts the characters would walk around and you could ask them questions. And we tried to figure out who the murderer was by the end of the play. Sounds really fun doing a more interactive one where you're actually a character! Did y'all buy this or write it yourselves?
ReplyDeleteI love murder mystery parties, we used to have a lot of them when I was in high school, and seeing these makes me want to host one! Great pictures!!!
ReplyDeleteLiesl :)

ReplyDeleteAwesome!! You look great, like Annie Oakley. Why didn't my family think of doing this over New Years....this would have been great fun! I am going to pin this, okay?
ReplyDeleteAnd guess what, the LP is doing one, on a larger scale, depending on how many people there for a date night. Check the calendar. Cool.
How fun!
ReplyDeleteLoved the costumes!

To answer some of your questions, my brother-in-law got the storyline and game offline! I haven't don't any research but I bet there are some free ones, or if you are really creative you could write up your own! If people are seriously interested just e-mail and I can give you more details on the night if you want to plan your own! It is so worth it :)
ReplyDeleteThat is SO INCREDIBLY AWESOME!!
ReplyDeleteI've been DYING TO play a Murder Mystery Game!

ReplyDeleteكيفية عزل السقف الخاص بك مع إسقاط رغوة؟
ReplyDeleteمن المهم أن تحدد بوضوح الحجم المسخّن للحجم غير المسخّن. إذا كان لديك في العلية من سطح منزلك ، لديك تخزين العلية ، فإنه ليس من الضروري الحفاظ عليه في 20 درجة طوال العام. من خلال إخراج الغرف التي لا تعيش فيها الحجم المحمي ، يمكنك تقليل حجم الهواء لتسخينه وتوفير الطاقة تلقائيًا. هذا هو السبب في أن عزل السقف أسفل العلية أو أعلى المرآب يعطي نتائج ممتازة ويقلل من فاتورة التدفئة لديك بشكل مضاعف: فقد حرارة أقل وتقليل حرارة الهواء! اعتمادًا على المساحة المتاحة ، نخطط لطبقة عازلة أكثر أو أقل لملء المساحة بأكملها. لا مزيد من المستوطنات والجسور الحرارية حتى في المناطق التي يصعب الوصول إليها!
