This year we decided to get into the spirit of Halloween and dress up! And from the pictures you can see we really went all out! I got to say up front that we were kinda upset that other parent were not a enthusiatic about getting dressed as a family. We went from school party to halloween party looking like fools, since we were the only ones in costume! But I guess it all pays off because our last party was at Claire and Bardya's! They hosted a great party at their house along with a costume contest. Malaya was originally a Pink Power Ranger so when Rach and I showed up in our costumes at her school carnival and saw the scared reactions we got, she wanted to match our frightful look. So we got a ghoulish black dress and vampire teeth to top it off, and our little demon child was born!!!
We had some tough competition for the costume contest, Trey doned a cute monkey suit as both mom and poppa Cruzat were bananas, The Banarias came as the Muster family, and us of course, the family dammed. We lost to the Banaria Family for best family costumes, but I'll be dammed (pun intended) I won!!! best costume of the night!!!
Thanks to all who made it fun and exciting and sorry to all the small kids whom we scared!
Happy halloween!!! from Ded Groom
