Best Halloween trick ever!!

We had our annual spooky Halloween dinner at my parents house this Sunday. We dressed up in our costumes AGAIN (Referee, football, and goal post). I think Max will be happy if he never has to put that football costume on ever again? This year for Halloween, my little brother, Chris, played a great trick on the whole family... he had us all fooled!!
My little brother, Chris, is in Texas right now going to med school. Every Sunday night he gets on the web cam and talks with my parents, and this Sunday he requested that they talk earlier because he had a Halloween party to get to. He told my parents to get the whole family downstairs so that he could say hi to everyone, and because he had a REALLY good trick for us.

He told us to all look very closely at the computer screen (where he put up a picture of a ghost). He said to be quiet, and just watch the ghost carefully... it might take a few mintues to work. We all waited patiently, expecting something scary to scream at us from the computer, or something like that.

A few minutes later, we heard a loud pop and a bang on the window, everyone screamed, and Ellie started to cry... and there was Chris! Just right outside the window!! It was quite the trick! He had everyone fooled, especially my mom who he came to surprise visit her for her birthday.

That set the tone for the party, and we had a great time visiting, eatting spooky food, and "Just Dancing" the night away.

My cute little football baby. Thanks to a friend in the neighborhood who let us borrow this. (I wish I could say I was crafty enough to make this costume.

All the grandkids in their costumes.

We can't have a Smith Family get together without taking a family sunset shot on the deck.

Major Wedge... I love this picture! So classic!

He loves the tractor!!

My sisters-in-law are very clever, these were their fun Halloween treats, just a little taste of some of the delicious spooky foods/treats.

Ahhhh, I love Halloween!! Until Next Year!
