Halloween is one of our favorite times of the year.  Not only does it signal the beginning of the holiday season, but it’s also when we get to dress up and go collect CANDY!!!  In maintaining a costume theme each year, we decided to dress up as pirates this year. For the first time, Jake truly enjoyed his costume and took pleasure in yelling the classic pirate “argh.” Joel went as far as to grow two weeks worth of facial hair in order to create a more authentic pirate look.

    I do believe Jake enjoyed Pirates much more than Wizard of Oz last year. Or at least that’s what it looks like. Congrats on such a nice family….you must be proud! ARRRRRRRR!
