this was a halloween of firsts; some great, some...well, just different.
::first time pumpkin patching in 90 degree weather, but first time with our cousins.
::first time NOT carving said pumpkins. usually we have too many choices and end up with 2 pumpkins per diaz. but this year, the pickin's were scarce and we only left the patch with 2 total! shortly after patching, i left on a last minute trip to seattle and didn't get my act together in time to carve when i returned.
::first time letting pj do his trick or treating with friends. e and i were feeling a little cheated, but made up for it by heading to hollywood and eating dinner accompanied by {a suprise visit from} Jonah and serenaded by
thai elvis. no complaints.
::first homemade wizard robe.
::first {and last...at least until next year} dye job for peej. we started growing out his hair in august, so naturally it needed to be black. he was the spitten image. success.
I am running short on time, so I'll just post this picture and describe more later. But let me just say that on this Thanksgiving Eve as I mull over my greatest blessings and what I give most thanks for, I realize that this picture encompasses so much of what I cherish the absolute most. There are several incredibly important people missing, but I can't help but be so thankful for this handful. I am one lucky lady.
