Here we are all dressed up for our annual family Halloween party that Paul's sister, Karol Jean has been orchestrating for the past 25 years. Our costume this year seems quite obvious on one hand but kind of subtle so look closely. We are Tour de France champions: Paul is Lance Armstrong (complete with Lion stuffed animal and bouquet of yellow flowers) and I am Floyd Landis (notice the syringe in my arm and the sack of blood for doping in my hand). Others came as runway models, pirates, soccer stars, crazy Ute fans, Peter Pan, Captain Hook, Tinkerbelle, Beijing Olympics boosters and Daisy & Donald Duck! This is always a lot of fun. I remember bringing Quinn and Katie as brand new babies back in 1977 and 1979 and this year Cache was the newest baby in the family. We connected via webcam with the Swapps and Kylee in China where they shared with us the Halloween party they went to last Friday night.
KJ really goes all out with the decorations, starting on the outside of her house with ghosts and jack o'lanterns and glowing orange lights. She always makes a delicious dinner featuring her famous Cheese Puffs that have become the most anticipated item on her menu -- sorry she doesn't share that recipe. We played games and took photos and visited and ate lots and lots of candy and cookies and cake. Everything you'd expect for a delightful get together. Thanks KJ for all your hard work; here's to atleast another 25 years!
