Halloween Group Shot: from left~granddaughter Shelby is an angel, daughter Kelly is a pregnant nun (the pregnant part is real), niece Sarah is a ‘Pink Lady’ from ‘Grease’, son in law Jerry is a hippie but bears a striking resemblance to Jimi Hendrix, niece Julia is a jelly fish, daughter Holly is a clown (her makeup is awesome!), and those two guys in front with the mustaches are grandson Elijah as Mario and his good friend Anthony as Luigi.  (Hubby Neil, sister Jane, son in law Kerry and I didn’t dress up but went along for the ride. Brother in law Don stayed at the house and fed the spooks and enjoyed some hockey and football games.)

My family LOVES Halloween! My kids, grand kids and nieces always dress up in the most awesome costumes. After a chili supper, they go trick or treating around the neighborhood. The adults have as much fun watching them collect candy. And it helps to have a cup of hot mulled apple cider to knock the chill off as we trek from house to house. Here are just a few trick or treating snapshots. I had a blast. This is my favorite time of the year, and I especially enjoy Halloween because it’s just plain fun! Goodbye, October. Once again, you flew by way too fast. I hate to see you go.
