A 'Wonderland' of Halloween Fun!

Who doesn't love a Halloween Costume Party?! We went with the "Alice in Wonderland" Theme for Costumes this year. Gracie really liked wearing her 'Alice' dress. Jody made a superb Mad Hatter, and I was the Cheshire Cat!


We had a blast hosting our Halloween Dinner Bash. We have never had a Gorilla, a Hunter, a Baby Monkey, some Zombies, Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf, a Doctor and a Magical Fairy...with a side of Summer Santa, Raggedy Ann & a little Frog...in our home all at once!


We split into teams and played Trick or Treat Fear Factor! Here Lindsey, Josh & Jody are showcasing their gummy worm eating talents!


The food was festive and tasted great. My mom always made a Halloween Stew and cooked it in a Pumpkin when I was growing up. Jody and I have carried on the tradition. Lindsey decorated these darling cupcakes!


Jody tried (and tried) to talk me into being a family of Gorillas. Here he is showing off What Could Have Been....(Sigh)


The Homemade Root Beer was delicious...and Gracie definitely had her share. She started crying when Chad carried the jug of goodness out the door. She was sobbing, "Beer...Beer..." Slightly traumatic...but what was even more drama was her bouncing off the walls while the sugar wore off. (I guess it's just getting us ready for all the treats on Halloween Night!)


THriLleR!!

It's been years, because we were living in Montana, since I've seen the Dance Production of "Thriller" up at Kingsbury Hall. It did not disappoint. I went with a bunch of friends who see me at my worst at 6 a.m. for aerobics. We had so much fun!


I asked the zombies to please duck down...as there were some shorter people in the back...they didn't listen...in fact they just growled at me afterward. Scary!
