 With 2 days of "practice" from intro to performance, this was an excellent FIRST effort for all involved!!  

Pan de Muerto (Halloween Night)

One of the great things about having children is, you get to redo some of the fun things you enjoyed in your childhood - like Halloween costumes, trick or treating, and candy.

But also, you get to grow past that with them too.  This year the consensus was:  No trick or treating ("its too cold; the candy is bad for us; besides you don't let us eat it anyway); No costumes (Hana may have wanted to, but she very easily and happily acquiesced to the pleasure of the group to the extent that I believe that she was happier going with the group without even really giving much thought to what she WOULD HAVE wanted to do if not for the group).

Instead, we stayed inside.  Turned off the lights.  Read about Pan de Muerto, and enjoyed this sweet bread.  Had fruit and cookies dipped in melted dark chocolate.  And watched Jurassic World on Pay-per-view....and had a perfect night!!

Happy Halloween!!!

Wedding in East Texas

Ian got to be the bearer of the broom; and Hana the flowergirl for Cousin's wedding in East Texas.  Fancy dresses.  Fancy socks. And ROAD TRIP for the family = GREAT TIMES!!!
