'tis the season ...

This year I had to have surgery the day before our 9th Pumpkin Cutting Party.  This meant that I was only there for a brief hello before heading back to my recovery bed.  Thankfully Karli, Ollie, and Ella kept the tradition alive and we cut pumpkins like we love to do:

Of course the cutting of pumpkins is really just preparation for one of our favorite nights of the year!  We had dinner with friends and then trick or treated until our bags were overflowing!!

a huge thank you to Hans and Leia and their brood for hosting us again.
