Happy Halloween 2020

Happy Halloween! 

Emma and Gabs made the Naples Middle High School Instagram page with their US Women's Soccer team costume at school on Wednesday

 

We kicked off Halloween weekend by closing on the sale of our house in Washington!  We could not be happier that the wonderful Delancys are the proud new owners. After signing all the paperwork, we celebrated with a prosecco toast



Halloween morning on the golf course

We had Elsa, Anna, Olaf, and Kristoff virtually trick or treat this afternoon

Chris joined forces with Julia and Tiffany from the USO to put on a virtual Halloween event full of trivia, Name That Tune, and games


Behind the scenes...

I took a walk down Halloween Memory Lane and found some favorite pictures of Halloweens past...
