FINALLY…a picture of dad!
he was a rhinestone cowboy. he created the jacket when he was in “best little whorehouse in texas.” he looked very dapper on halloween.

and also finally, JIM! a very scary zombie.


we wanted a picture of mom, amy and me…and somehow jessica snuck into the photo. photoshop photoshop photoshop her away!

amy won “most creative,” but would have garnered many more accolades if they’d been at the party a little earlier. i’m sure she would have won people’s choice best costume! she’s a martian, of course.

you can see here more how shayla is a mail-order bride, with the saran wrap encircling her waist. i especially like this shot of ramsey.

lori ann got cutest costume, in her outfit tailor-made for her by debi iams.

oh, those wacky germanns!

gerrick and janice tied for cutest couple with gary and annie. i can’t believe i don’t have a better photo of gerrick.

david and sandy b. i never saw david with this scary mask on his face.

dad and bev ryan.

jasmine and kim

kevin, hard at work at being a mime, with the scary yet sexy linda lurking behind him.

have i mentioned that this is the first halloween party we’ve had where i’ve actually enjoyed myself? here’s my complete outfit.

amy always insists that nobody goes out on the screened porch to dance…but there are russell and his wife cathy, cutting a rug. nice.

you might have read kevin’s comment about randy being a marshmallow. nope. aunt sandy wrote to me and asked if he was a tooth with a cavity. nope again. he’s carrying a box of salt and a big scary knife – does that tell you what he is?

i’m waiting for your guesses, as i wallow around here after eating way way way too much birthday dinner and then WAY too much birthday cake. we ordered david a white cake with white frosting because that’s what he wanted, but it was chocolate. VERY DELICIOUS, i’m sorry to say.
ok then,
wednesday night grace.
