The best shot we got of all the kids.

Barack Obama even came to our Halloween party.

Good story about Ashley's costume... she was the good Senator just to rattle her dad's and Uncle Larry's buttons. Great job, Marie!

Collin is showing off his muscles!

Aunt Cris had a balloon game set up for the kids. The object was to sit on your balloon and pop it, grab the candy corn that was in the balloon, then give the corn to your teammate. Whoever had the most corn at the end won. Collin did very good collecting 7 candy corn. Here is throwing his corn to Grammy and she is giving him his next balloon.

Daddy helped Collin pop his balloon. After he sat on a couple to pop them he decided stepping on them would be a better method. Hilarious.

He was really excited about popping his balloon!!!

Handing Grammy more corn. He didn't win but he sure did try hard! Good job, Sweets!

Collin went first to try and break the pinata. He, again, did a great job! He loved hitting it!

Sammy went next and he did a great job, too. Isn't our pumpkin pinata great? We put A LOT of time into it... I mean a lot of time.

We even gave Barack a swing or two at the pumpkin.

The nurse, Amanda, caught Uncle John sleeping and got a good whack at it. You can see it broke in two.

Collin and all the kids gathering their candy.

Still gathering...

Collin wasn't finished with the pinata after it broke.

He kept hitting away for a while after it was done!

We had a great time at the party. Thanks to the Raak's for hosting. We were happy that mostly all of our family was there from Arizona to Chicago to Michigan they made it... missed you Aunt Grace! It was so enjoyable to see our baby playing with the big kids and having a great time. Collin participated in everything and slept very good when we got home!! :)
