halloween 2006 
Halloween is my second-favorite holiday (behind Christmas). This year, we went to a party hosted by my sister-in-law Liz on the Saturday before Halloween; we also held a party for our older daughter, Beth, on Halloween night. Click on each thumbnail to see a larger version.


Beth as a medieval princess and Ally as Mulan; Beth, Ally, and their ghostly (and very silly) cousin Molly;
me as the often-injured "Sideline Ben" Roethlisberger (note the clipboard, head bandage, and glazed expression);
me and the girls at Liz's Halloween party


At Liz's party, Joni led the kids in painting pumpkins. Joni's t-shirt pokes fun at Liz, who is a practicing Wiccan;
Ally and Beth show off their pumpkins; our niece Maggie (who is all of three) wore her fairy outfit to Liz's


Our nephew Matthew; nephew Dmitri as a penguin; family friend Liam as everyone's favorite superhero; 
Beth and friends (including several live cheerleaders and one dead one) at her party on Halloween night


Yes, folks, kids really do still bob for apples
