Halloween Bash

Since Halloween was on Sunday this year, we mostly celebrated on Saturday night. Wes, Justin, and Dan hosted a house party and we had a lot of fun there playing games and enjoying food and beverages.

Rachael as a "Peace of S#*&", Jackie as a pirate, Michelle as Wilma Flintstone, and me as a 1930s mobster.

The officers from Reno 911 make a huge bust!

Wes had to change costumes after his pet parrot deposited a present on the front of his cop uniform. Welcome to the party, rocker Wes!

Rich and friends had great costumes: Ina as doctor, Matt as runny nose, me as mobster, Liz as "thinking outside the box", and Rich as Peter Pan.

Ryan was rockin' the referee costume

Another great Halloween, spent with friends and having lots of fun!

So who wants to play with me?

Fall Soirée

After the wildly successful Summer Soirée, I was hopeful there would be a similar party to celebrate the new season. Fortunately, I was right. Here are a few pics from the Fall Soirée, for your enjoyment.

With Seth, the head planner and host with the most.

Thanks for putting on such a fun event!

Everyone was supposed to wear red, yellow, or orange. Since I have red shorts, I had to sport them. And they happened to go extremely well with this quilt on the lawn.

Enjoying the pleasant evening with friends. What more could you ask for.

By the way, congrats to Justin on winning the pie-eating contest.

Hugging super-cute Becca. My life is complete.

More friends, and this is only a smidgen of the fun peeps that were in attendance for the festivities. A good time was definitely had by all.

Any chance for a Spring Soirée, Seth? I'll cross my fingers...
