The women were in the kitchen preparing…ok, ok, let’s be honest.  Urs was in the kitchen preparing and slaving away.  I just kept her company and helped every once in a while:

It was a great night spent with family and friends.  Thank you for celebrating with us, we had a great time!
Special shout out to my mom and dad.  Thank you, thank you for a wonderful week.  The kids loved spending time with “Grandma and Grandma”  Winking smile 
Mom:  Thank you for all the hard work in the kitchen and around the house.  The food never tasted better and the house was never so clean.  You are such a great example of what a mother should be.  The kids had a great time making cookies with you and laughing with you.  Thank you for everything.  You are wonderful.

Dad:  Thank you for working hard on the house.  We always love a good project.  Sorry there wasn’t anything too hard to do, but the small things sure add up!  Thank you for playing with the  kids.  They had a great time playing cars and snuggling.  You are great!

Hallo WEEN

The kids had a great time this year.  We had our Trunk-or-treat on the 21st, which a LOT of people thought was too early, but I loved it.  I was able to make sure that their costumes were ready for the hectic, sugar-inducing, big day. 
Our Greek Goddess:

Our Baby Vamp:
