Birthday Celebration times 3

A few days after Halloween we had our birthday party.  Julia and I were born on the same day, same year and are 4 hours apart in age.  Andrea celebrates her birthday a few days later so we decided that we needed to have a birthday party.  When Julia and I were discussing ideas, we both agreed that with our birthday just a few days before Halloween, we were never able to have both birthday parties and Halloween parties.. so this year we were going to combine them.  Here is what resulted in this idea.

drink them all ourselves, we shared them with our guests

Halloween

This year we spent Halloween at Slain's Castle, a local pub in Aberdeen that is.. well... interesting.  The pub draws its inspiration from Bram Stoker's Dracula and is set in an old church.   Really can you think of a better setting for a night out on old hallow's eve??  Celebrating Halloween in Scotland is becoming more common and there were actually a lot of people out in costumes, or fancy dress as the Scotts refer to it.  Here are a few pictures of the creativity of my friends... I must admit that James (skeleton) and Tash (zombie girl) who are both Welch really got into it!
