Thanks sisters, including my hairdresser, for not telling me how crazy my hair was…  we tried to snap some potential Christmas card or wall photos, I WISH I had a photography talent!

Let the Festivities Begin…

Yesterday was the first of many Halloween parties.  My parents hosted a great one full of costumes, Ghost Bingo, Pumpkin carving, and  birthday presents for my sister in law! We had yummy Halloween food with pumpkin face veggies (Dad and Mom), dinner in a pumpkin (me), Spider Jello and Bone breadsticks (Trav and Mindy), Witch hat cookies (Holly), but my most favorite the Kinnersley traditional homemade clam chowder (which I am already craving for Monday!) After filling myself, THEN we also had my favorite Cake from Glaus Bakery. SOOOO delicious!

The Grandkids had a great time sharing their costumes.  (The Witch and Giraffe will be one of a few costumes for Anna and Maddie, thanks to family and hand me downs… and many parties means Anna can change many times… which she likes!)
