Last night we had our annual Halloween party, which, because it was delayed by a week until after the holiday actually occurred, was transformed into a family ‘game night’ with costumes optional. Everyone opted not to wear one. We’ve had some great costume gala affairs with haunted house, scavenger hunts, and hayrides - but this one was a mild family get-together.


I didn’t even play any games, other than trouncing Briana in a few games of ping-pong, but rather just enjoyed everyone’s company - particularly my nephew Adam and my cousin Karen’s daughter Abby (see “Abby Loves Soap”).
The food was grand, the people were fun… oh, and I got a new digital camera yesterday before we went, so I had fun snapping lots of photos, several of which I’ve included here. And somehow, I got roped into hosting Thanksgiving this year for my Mom’s entire side of the family.
