Halloween Party Part 2

Here are the rest. I hope the formatting isn't all whacked-out, like the last post. At least I checked the preview, this time, and it looks O.K.

The hay ride.

















The St. Nicholas Pumpkin Patch.
















Yoda, again (this picture cracks me up, every time I see it).
















Peter getting his straw for the next game. This picture (large size) really shows his blue eyes.




















They had to get the marshmallows out, using a straw, then they could eat them.
















Thomas bypassed the whole straw bit of the game.













George, feeling the pumpkin's brains.

Halloween Party Part 1

Last Sunday was the ECF Halloween Party at church. I have a lot of photos, so I am splitting this into 2 posts.

This is Yoda (Thomas). He seems to be the correct height. We didn't let him have a light saber, though.





































The group, waiting for the party to start. We have Darth Vader (Peter), Snow White (Margie), Sword Guy (George), Thomas the Tank Engine (Fred), and Yoda's head.














Here come the Triplets!













Helena
























Seamus (I absolutely love this photo):


















Katie (this costume was so funny, because it was so fat)



















Not Pin the Tail on the Donkey, but paste the Flag on the Mast:

Here is the Birthday Girl!

Margie had a very nice birthday. (Except for it being cold and rainy.) She did have school, followed by Scouts, then a quick visit (and presents) with Baba, Grandpa, Aunt Anne, and Dorothy, then a trip to Build a Bear Workshop. She had never been there, and has been asking to go for several months. We had told her she could go as a birthday present, if she was still interested when her birthday came along. She really liked it. Then we had to run home, and have dinner. I must say, she is very generous, herself. She chose to spend her birthday money buying Little Caesar's pizza for the whole family. Of course we had cake, and more presents. Her brothers all made or gave her something, and she had gotten several packages in the mail. Later in the week, she received birthday visits from Uncles Mike, George, and Nikolaj. Anyhow, lots of people remembered her, and really made her have a good day. Here are some photos:

She requested a Red Wings cake with #40 (Zetterberg)on it. (The #40 is hard to see in this photo.) She specially wore a Red Wings shirt and red pants to school.


























This is Thomas, looking "concerned" about her blowing out the candles.















And this is what she made at Build a Bear. It is really a cat:
