Well, we did it again.  We held our family's 29th Annual Halloween Party this past Saturday.  Next year is the Big 30th, so we will have to be sure and go all out.  The costumes this year were pretty darn clever, as usual.  That is my sister Andrea as Esmerelda the Fortune Teller.  I'm not sure I would trust her, but it's only 25 cents.

This is my sister Kate as a seriously dangerous looking biker dude.  Dad looks quite alarmed.

There, Dad is much more at ease with me, a very friendly witch.

I loved this fantastical guy. My nephew Evan dressed up as a reference to a type of music he enjoys.

Are you scared yet?  This is my cousin Claudia.

And her husband, King Paul. Talk about an unlikely couple…

This happy looking family consists of Daddy Eric having a spa day (notice the champagne in his hand), Mommie Trisha as Cookie Monster, and Baby Gwen as a funny monkey.  They are just too cute.

You have to admit, our family gets into it.

This is the best kitty cat makeup I have ever seen.  My niece Lizz somehow fluffed up her eyebrows, which was awesome.  She just found out she is expecting, so maybe it has to do with hormones?

Can you guess what Maddi and Stephanie are?  Well, I was stumped too.  They are Google Maps, destinations A and B.

I didn't get this one either, because I am so out of it.  They all came as characters in the Super Mario game.

My brother in law Greg was such a good sport.  He broke his leg and still managed to attend in costume.

Best of all, the kids.  Eva was a little witch and Johnathan was a character from the latest Star Wars movie.  Poor kid could barely see or walk in the get up, so he only had it on for about five minutes.  They won prizes for Best Boy and Best Girl.  They were the only kids at the party besides Baby Gwen (who won Best Baby), so everyone was happy.

Hope your family Halloween is just as fine as ours was!  Be safe.
