We have hosted a family Halloween party for the last 6 years or so. It's fun to see what costumes people put together each year because it's usually a surprise. Even though we do a little planning ahead for games, Tim always comes up with some spontaneous entertainment for the kids-- and that is usually the best part of the night, according to the kids. He took the kids on a spooky tour around the house & backyard, making up some stories as he went. The kids were surprised (they let out some screams) when they found Uncle Matt & Uncle Terry hiding in different places around the house.

This year's other highlight went a little something like this... Tim had each kid draw a picture on paper of their favorite thing about Halloween. All the kids sat down to listen to the next part of the activity. Grandma B played a melody on the guitar while Tim, Stacy, Jolene, & Matt each sang a couple improv verses about the drawings. There was a lot of laughter! They are quite the musically-talented bunch :)
