I can't believe I didn't get any pics ... my camera died after we took family pictures.
But ... here's the run-down of FUN:
2. AMAZING costumes ... As you can tell from our family pic. :) My favorite costumes were: #1 - Paul the giant sushi, #2 - Gary as Lieutenant Dangle from Reno 911 (hilarious), #3 - Jake as Iron Man's alter ego (what's his name?) --- and, all the littles looked awesome!
3. Kid Games ... our kids are so lucky ... they all had a blast!
- Haunted trick or treating
- Fortune telling ... just so you know, Pam - this one's DEFINITELY a keeper. Today, Aaron woke up and was in his church clothes pronto - and then, down playing the piano first thing. Apparantly you told him, "I see you going to church and playing the piano." He obviously takes fortune telling VERY seriously. When I asked Krystal what her fortune was, she got all big-eyed and showed me her hand - then said something in a mysterious voice. :) I loved it!
- Ring Toss Goodies ... what kid doesn't love getting tons of prizes?
- Spooky story ... thanks so much Angie - this was Marissa's favorite center - and, I loved peeking in on the kids to see them completely entranced. She had popcorn and juice for them while they enjoyed a story.
- Piniata ... of course. Lil' Matt (the 5th out of 30 kids to hit the thing) decapitated it in one mighty blow. hahaha! So - the parentals kept tying it back together 'til everyone had a turn to take a whack.
4. White Elephants ... we go all out.
SUCH an incredible time!!! I'm so grateful for that tradition and the opportunities we have to get together. When we all work together to make it happen - it's so worth it. SO good to see everyone!!
EXTENDED TAYLOR CHRISTMAS PARTY COMING UP!!!! Saturday, December 20th - the same location as the last 2 years - plenty of room for everyone ... so, I REALLY hope we get you Las Vegas and Price guys out again this year! Yummy food and (of course) Amazing white elephants. AND .... perhaps Santa Clause? Uncle Larry? Love you all!
