| Desirae's Halloween Extravaganza | |
|   Due to scheduling conflicts, Desirae had to host her annual Halloween |  | 
| I show only a fraction of the many amazing, decorations she puts out. Most of them are hand made and they go all the way across their property. | |
|  |   In case you didn't get to see this fine fellow well enough in the
    previous photo.  | 
| Graveyard complete with snake skeleton | |
|  |  | 
| Chicken skeleton | I think it made the actual chickens a little nervous! | 
|  |  | 
| Bloody footprints heading down the hallway | Monster legs on the table | 
|  |   Mom, aka Green Army Guy, at your service. | 
| All of her "normal" decorations come down and the house transforms for this party! | |
|  |   I was a skeleton, complete with creepy hands and the lovely necklace Brodie made for me. | 
| We always knew Keith was a Chick Magnet! | |
|  |   I caught a photo of Dad in an actual smile! | 
| Bloomer family - ready to party | |
|   Party games with the crew | |
|  |   A lovely sushi lunch with friends - Rayliegh, Ariel, Elim, and David | 
| We attended the Lebanese Festival where Eric purchased a strawberry cake
  made by Sue, our friend Gary's wife. Gary didn't get any of the cake, so we sent this to him to make sure he was plenty jealous!

|  |  | 
| Thanksgiving!  Brodie made me this necklace for Christmas, but
  was kind enough to let me have it early. He is so sweet! | Mouse trap - Mom was not allowed to play, it is well known that she
  cheats! | 
| Some photos of Buddy having fun at The Dog House - his doggy daycare | |
|  |  | 
| This German Shepherd is a particular friend of his. | Cutie pie | 
|   I think he's getting a bit more attention than he likes, he's hoping for rescue! |  | 
| Sloppy kisses from his girlfriend. | |
|  |   We've been allowing Rocket outside every now and then for the first time
    in about 8 | 
| I entered Buddy and Lily into a newspaper contest, but only later
  learned it's a "pay to vote" deal. So, they didn't win - it was rigged! I didn't manage to scan the photo of Lily, but it was adorable. | |
|  |   Our house all decked out for Christmas. Lovely! I still appreciate that cross Dad made for me years ago, we get
    compliments  | 
| I brought a balloon to festoon the spin bike of my good buddy Chuck for his birthday. He really appreciated it, I could tell. :-) | |
