Halloween Part 2



Closer look at the amazing gown Katy wore. It really, really, really, looks fit for a wedding! Complete with beads and sequins and everything!




Davis was absolutely adorable as Donald Duck (although given that daddy Andy was away watching the Ducks VS Cal game in California, we expected his colors to be a bit different!). He even has the stature to actually look like Donald. Friggin cute!!




This is part of the Halloween annual tradition that I love. We have a chili fest (each household contributes--mine was an amazing Veggie chili that I will post recipe for!) and we have wine...lots and lots of wine, plus music and a bonfire. This is my good bud Lisabeth and her dad who has joined us again this year. Now this man knows wine and I can't wait for Thanksgiving to sample his choices.





Just a street down from us is a guy who has outdone himself in decorations every year for about the last 3 years. If you can believe it---he built a boat, yes, a boat...complete with mast, dead pirate, wheel and deck. He put up a projection screen and had Pirates of the Caribbean playing the whole night long! It was spectacular! Lindzay, being the Johnny Depp/Jack Sparrow sheriff, walked up to him...flashed her Jack tat and told him that he'd not gone thru the right channels and receive proper authorization from her to display Jack Sparrow and she'd have to confiscate his wheel!! What a goof! But really, this was amazing!!





Lastly, my Sumo Cheeseburger head son, Bryson. We came back from trick or treating and saw him dressed in this hilarious outfit! He scared Davis and Katy wasn't too keen on his outfit either. It was hilarious to watch him deflate this thing every time he tried to sit in a chair. It was a bit dicey when he got near the fire as well...I thought he was going to go up in flames on a few occasions.
So, Halloween on Essex Court in 08 was another hit...can't wait for 09!
