Trick or Treat!

The kids had a great time this year trick or treating.

After every house Drew would say, "I want to go to another

trick or treat place". Needless to say my feet were killing

me by the time we finished.

Alissa was a Spider Countess

Drew was Batman and loved it because everyone made such a big deal about his cosume all night.

He also liked it because I was Batgirl.



On to the next house...

Check out the loot!

Halloween Bash!

Trey and I cohosted a Halloween Bash with Alan and Tina.

We went all outwith decorations and food.

Everyone had a blast!!!

Tina and I right before everyone got there. Whew,

we finished the food just in time!

We made mummy wraps, vampire bites, creepy fingers,

monster eyes, cob web brownies, and cheese dip with

bat wings. It was all a hit!
