Halloween!

To add to the post below: We had a wonderful Halloween this year. We were grateful that we weren't walking around with painkillers, and crutches like last year after Jimmy's ankle surgery. We were glad for good friends, our ward Halloween party, and our creativity for fun costumes. We present Captain Jack Sparrow and his first mate for life!

And, we present our fun friends at the ward Halloween Party. We had a blast!
