Haloween night all of Adam's family came over for a cook out. Adam loves to cook on his Green Egg every chance he gets. Our niece, Mary Margaret, was dressed up like a pumpkin. However, her main costume was a bee... Isn't she cute!!

Bubba's Birthday Party

Bubba is a Pirate

Karrie and Joseph's baby boy is turning 15 yrs. old this year... so, of course, we had to celebrate. Karrie had a costume party to commemorate the milestone. Everyone came in their very best outfits. Millie is mine and Adam's baby. She went as a ladybug! All the costumes were great! Rigley (Emily A.'s pup) won most creative, Pucci won cutest and I forgot who won the scariest. We all had so much fun! I can only imagine what it will be like when we all have children!
