Halloween Housewarming

Family Halloween Portrait

I am not a fan of Halloween. Most everyone who knows me knows that. I stopped trick or treating when I was in fifth grade because I thought the whole holiday was contrived. 

But, last Saturday evening I went to a Halloween Housewarming Party and had a great time. I even dressed up--notionally I was Marc Anthony and I was going to the party with my Cleopatra. 

What a party--food, games, fun, and most of all family celebrating the excitement of a new house and a new home.

Friends. Wow, what friends were there to celebrate. The costumes were magnificent and demonstrated a high degree of creativity.

And there were new acquaintances. 

Maybe I will do more Halloween parties in the future and enjoy them more.
