Murder at Anonville Manor

Bry and I were invited to a murder mystery party Friday night. We were assigned characters to play and Bry was Chief C. R. Badges (a policman) and I was Ms. Shugga Ann Flower (a chef) 
Our friend Amanda put the whole thing together in celebration of Shannon's 30th birthday. 
It was a fun night. We had tons of delicious food including spooky appitizers  and bread bowls with soup.
The men got together on one table to discuss the murder.
We played 3 rounds. The 1st round we just mingled and got to know everyones characters and were given a few about our own character. The 2nd round we got more clues about ourselves, the others and where we were when the murder took place. It was a little like clue but MUCH more fun and involved.
Some of the YuMmY treats... Amanda cutting the "bleeding cake"
I made these "dead mans eyeballs"
A cute ghost cake.
The girls!! 
and the murderer was.... ME!!! I hit London Wilton (Shannon) over the head with a candlestick in the library. She was going to close my bakery (how dare she) It did not know I was the murderer until a little into the 3rd (last) round. After finding out more, I am surprised I did not kill my husband Doctor Dijon for cheating on me with Professor Alberta Newton. (ha ha) 
Now that I have been part of such a fun night, I am thinking I will have to host my own.
