Halloween was a lot of fun this year.  We abandoned our house and camped out in front of the Elliots with their fire pit and silent movies.  Jen took the kids out this year (including Alex).  One of our neighbors rents a moon bounce every year which tends to eat up quite a bit of the actual trick-or-treating time.  Here are pictures of their ( Read more... )
