so...this is halloween

 

This family

thinks that we should throw a party

for everything.

Last night we celebrated Halloween out at

the O'Quinn's home on

Skidaway Island.

 

Walking in and seeing the bowl full of fingers,

I knew we were in for a good time.

We had Bubba's Chili

and Sally's amazing salad.

There were homemade pumpkin sugar cookies

and the amazingly good

"finger" cookies

 that you see in the bowl above.

I made a pecan pie,

and by the end of the meal,

when coffee was served,

we were all stuffed to the absolute gills.

 

Next came the frenzy of getting into costumes

 and the real fun began.

The kids piled on the golf cart

and the adults piled into our van

 and we headed for the most

glorified trick or treating

I have ever been a part of.

 

As you can see by gazing into the pink pumpkin,

we did not come away disappointed.

By 8:30

we were headed for home,

drowsy from full stomachs and hiking from house to house.

 

So yes...this was our Halloween.

Welcome November!

Let the holidays begin!

Time to start planning for Thanksgiving.

 

"Every good and every perfect gift 

is from above, 

 and comes down from the Father of lights,

with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning."
