Can you tell who this is? (no, it is not me and Paul)
It's Dora and Diego!
We decided to dress up for the grandkids this year and it totally worked. Aspen and Collin knew exactly who we were; most of the other adults didn't have a clue (except for the parents of Aspen & Collin).
Every year we get invited to this wonderful extended family Halloween party that is put on by Paul's sister, KJ (see the following post). She timed it just perfect so Paul and I could be there by holding it last Friday night -- the night before we left for Hawaii. She figures that this was the 25th year! She has always gone overboard (in a good way) with all the decorations and food and even games and favors but each year it just keeps on getting better. This year was no exception. Don't you love her front porch!
Here's our Star Wars relatives from a "a long time ago and a gallaxy far away". Yes, even Darth Vader (Cam), Princess Lea (LaRane), Anakan (Collin) and Yoda (Cache) stopped by to join in the fun and games. There was alot of light sabre dueling taking place during the course of the evening. That Anakan is really a tough guy!
Heidi's family wasn't able to make it from China but Katie, Clark and Aspen went to their Japanese connections (Clark's mission days) and came outfitted in authentic kimonos. They won the prize for the most comfortable costumes especially for the 8 month pregnant Mama.
Thanks for the fabulous evening KJ! It is a much anticipated, 3-generation event!

Ahoy mates thar she blows til next year. . .everyone goes all out dressing as a different character every year. It has become a very long standing tradition and with no end in sight. I highly recommend family Halloween parties a week or so before the 31st. Even those out of state send in their phamily photos so they virtually celebrate with us too.
I have heard about these parties for decades it seems. It's fun to be invited via the blog! It looks very fun!
