Amy's birthday falls on Halloween (every year!). This year, in honor of her 50th, she wore the pumpkin costume her grandparents made for her when she was 8 years old. It was a perfect expression of Amy's incredible talent for bringing out the "inner child" in all of us.
We dressed up, although we didn't all look as cute as Charlotte with her cat ears and tail.

We played games. (Yes, that is a candy corn balanced on Maya's nose.)
We ate the beautifully decorated cake (marzipan skeleton courtesy of our niece Hannah, who told us that the umbrella was intended to keep the skeleton from getting sunburned).
The pinata, which of course was designed as a pumpkin, was attacked by costumed partyers of all ages
and, destroyed, deposited its contents of candy and toys on the ground, where they were equitably distributed to the youngest generation.All in all, a very satisfying birthday for Amy and Halloween for us all !!
