The real deal...

...introducing Darth Vader and an EVIL monster.  

It has become an annual tradition for us to throw a Halloween Party, not because we LOVE Halloween (although it IS fun) but because we were among the first to have a kid and it seemed like if we were going to go through the trouble of celebrating at all, we would go big!   So here we are 4 years later making batches of chili, planning costumes, laying out places for 17(!) kids to eat, lighting candles, and (NEW THIS YEAR!) setting up a movie screen in our backyard (a projector courtesy of the Watkins, a white sheet, and "It's a Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown).    Good memories, good memories.   
Our scary crew (Todd is "T.J." a.ka. JT)

Isn't she scary?!?
En Route to get some Loot  : )

Watching the movie

Hope everyone else enjoyed the night as much as we did!
