After 5 nice, sad and emotional days spent with family in Chautauqua, it is about time to return to the real world. It’s hard to think about moving on with life after you have lost someone so close to you, someone who was the center of your family.
It is nice to that we had a chance to reflect on the so many wonderful memories, share tears and laughs, and be together. Our immediate family came in from Florida, Ohio, NY, Washington DC, Madrid Spain and Chicago. After calling hours, a beautiful service and a nice luncheon we were maxed out. We decided we needed to have some fun and laughter on Saturday, to celebrate Halloween.
As a family we are all about challenges and contests. Today’s contest was a blast: 2009 $5 Halloween Costume Contest!
The rules:
- Teams were oldest siblings vs. youngest siblings (6 v.6)
- The costumes could not be more than $5 per person
- 1 1/2 hour time limit to be back at the house and dressed
- The costumes had to go together as a team
Here are the results
It was such a fun time! Just the laughter we needed at the end of this tough
