Halloween 2017

 Lucy was a jellyfish. Her costume was especially amazing outside in the dark

 Anna Kate was a cheerleader from High School Musical - a longtime family favorite - but this year, she and her co-captain for soccer would use quotes from it to motivate the team

 At the last minute (literally) Will decided to eek out one more year as Darth Vadar. Poe awaits him for next year. 

 Samantha was a bumble bee (matching her Bitty Baby)

Samantha's 10th Birthday Party

For Samantha's 10th Birthday Party, we invited some friends for pumpkin carving & lunch. It was so much fun, and, honestly, quite a bit easier than I expected. Dave was out of town for Tim & Anna's wedding, so it felt like a risk to carve pumpkins without him. But I would do it again! Here are some pictures

 There was plenty of time for games, playing outside, dancing, and eating!
