Halloween

I think daughters-in-law enter the family just when you need them most. I’m not sure if we could have talked the boys into the corn maze, pumpkin carving and themed costumes without these lovely girls who enliven our old traditions with enthusiasm and beauty.

The three painters: Degas, Van Gogh and Jackson Pollock

with their masterpieces (Gabe as both painter and painting).

 

Sammie’s brother Benji.

Our next-door-neighbors always host the party. But since they sent their son on a mission the Wednesday before Halloween (Nampa, Idaho!), it was time for someone else to take a turn.
