Remember, Remember the 5th of November... Gunpowder, treason, and plot!
We really got in the mood for Guy Fawkes Day with our family mustache photo shoot! For those of you who are unfamiliar with Guy Fawkes Day, or Bonfire Night, you can catch all the lovely details by watching V for Vendetta. I learned about this holiday during my study abroad in London.

Basically, Guy Fawkes was arrested on Nov. 5th in 1605 for being part of the Gunpowder Plot. The goal was to blow up the British Parliament, but it was stopped. Everyone in Great Britain lit bonfires to celebrate and now they light the BIGGEST bonfires I have ever seen. Like, save-your-old-furniture, have-to-stand-50-yards-away, HUGE bonfires. They usually have a Guy Fawkes at the top of the burning mountain in celebration. Here is a picture of Guy Fawkes from the movie, V for Vendetta:

{We got a little crazy, but we had a great time!
And hey, isn't this better than burning things?
Maybe not, but it definitely makes for cuter pictures!}
Happy Guy Fawkes Day!
