An Elizabethan Evening

The holiday season is in full swing here.  A singing group that Crystal works with recently put on an Elizabethan evening dinner/concert.  It was a festive holiday feast complete with a king, queen and royal court–a fabulous show and when Kai and Nora heard that costumes were involved they were keen to get dressed up as well.  Nora’s default of dressing as a princess seemed to work well enough and for Kai it was either a Jedi Knight, an alien or a pirate.  The pirate seemed most appropriate.  I thought that we could get him to pass for a monk with the help of his Jedi robe but he didn’t have much interest.  Monks don’t pack cold, hard steel — pirates do!

Halloween 2008

Well folks, this doesn’t happen often but here are some pictures posted in a timely manner.  Last night we did the Halloween thing over on on Nasariyah street at the Collins house.  Word has really spread about this being a trick-or-treating hot spot as we were rummaging for extra treats to give by 6:10PM.   This year we were pretty sure that we had plenty of candy and that we would have to put out bowls at the office the next day just to get rid of it all.  However, just an hour into the event our more than 300 pieces were gone!   Below are a few images from the event.
