A Halloween Tradition

From the beginning... (well, as far Riley - or Hope - or Nico can remember) we have always spent Halloween with the Murphy's. From Scappoose, to Battle Ground, and all the way to Boise we consider it a tradition. When the Murphy's packed up their home and moved it 400 miles away in another state Riley knew Halloween just wouldn't be the same. I'm not one to disappoint and I'm a sucker for tradition so I purchased plane tickets, kept our impending trip a secret and eventually surprised Riley on Halloween - we were, after all, going to spend Halloween with the Murphy's despite a little distance. The ritual continues and once again this year we boarded a plane all set to embark on our customary celebration.

Super Girl helped fly us safely to our destination.

Super Boy tried to escape...

Not finding a way out he settled down with a little music.

Halloween preparations were chaotic, as usual. Hair had to be curled, make-up was applied, costumes were donned, eyelashes were secured, children ran all through out, candy baskets were repeatedly lost but always recovered, pizza was scarfed down by all, pictures were a plenty and the fun was only about to begin.

Spider Man ate each piece of candy before it could land in his bucket.

There was a multitude of witches this year.

The big boys evaded the camera.

Irreplaceable memories were made by all!
