Halloween 2010

This year we had to opportunity to spend Halloween in California with Matt's wonderful family. The trip was sudden and bittersweet since the purpose was for dear sweet Grandpa Bob's funeral. Although I've only been part of the family a short time, I have a lot of fond memories of him and we will miss him dearly. I know how very proud he was of Matt and how much he loved his whole family and made me feel so welcome right away. I never did get used to his insistence on taking many many pictures but that's what you get when you marry into the Henry family as I am becoming more accustomed to.

I wish I had more pictures of our trip but I believe I'm the only one that hasn't gotten used to carrying a camera around. Alyssa had so much fun picking out a costume from MiMi's treasure trove even though mommy brought two girly costumes from home. She insisted on being the purple dragon and she was too adorable to force into a fairy costume. (It'll still be good for dress up I suppose!) It was so nice to watch her with her cousins and she was absolutely FASCINATED with her little cousin Scarlett!
