Mom and Dads 40th anniversary

So they hit 40 years and we procrastinated quite a bit. We had ideas of parties, inviting people from all over, floating things in our pool and tents in the yard, sooooo many ideas that in the end we did nothing.

Then in a Brainstorm, Ximena and I pu together a very nice package to go to Niagara Falls, they had Falls views from their room, they had dinner atop a hotel, falls boat tours and walking tours, they visited wineries. In all I think it turned out very very nice. I have some pics to scan but for now here are some of when we gave them their vacation package.

Ximenas Birthday

We had a little shindig round the pool for Ximenas BDay, we invited her friends and we think she did not expect it. I hope so. Some pictures below:

I guess the house has become the "party central" LOL, but we enjoy it, it's fun to have everyone over.

Halloween 2008

So Halloween came and went and this is a very late update. We created a haunted house at our new house. We covered the front carport with tarps and created a maze with tarps. Inside we had dead guys in coffins, smoke machines, strobe lights and at the end was my dad, with his head in a hole in a table with him appearing as if he was a head on a platter. I dressed up like a devil using liquid latex to create a wierd skin, it smelled terrible and I had to remove it after a few hours. It required a shaving of arms and chest to prevent yanking hair. Liz was a black angel, Andre was a punk, Lucas was a jailbird, and Noah was a Ninja. Pics below but more as I get them.

I will try to collect pics from several people, mine did not come out so well but it was fun for us, fun for the neighborhood and the party was pretty fun as well.

Here are some of them:
