A Disney Halloween Party (And, Yes, I Know I'm a Little Late)

John's work had a Halloween party for the cast members and their families.  Here are a few pictures.


Some unique Mickey cupcakes.

Michael (dressed as Peter Parker) volunteered to compete in the donut eating contest, but he was too cool to look at the camera.  

But he wasn't too cool to eat the donuts.

And he won a prize (actually they gave everyone a prize), but these are some pretty cool books (the Percy Jackson series in hardcover).

They also had a really fun pumpkin carving contest.  There were some of the most unique pumpkins I've ever seen.   There was one giving birth to a smaller pumpkin, but I didn't get a picture of it.

It's a Torch! It's a Bonfire! No, It's John's Birthday!

We celebrated John's 42nd birthday this month.  We love him so much!

(Ignore the Christmas wrapping paper here.  That's one of the things about having a December birthday, you get Christmas wrapping paper.)

AJ is a Hoot!

AJ played his school's mascot, Hoot, at a recent spirit assembly.

Here is some video of his experience.

Hoot playing with the "caught being good" winner.





Unveiling Hoot.

AJ is an AMAZING reader!

AJ's school has an accelerated reading program.  Each child has a reading goal, and AJ not only reached his goal, he surpassed it!  His goal was 44 points.  He earned over 66 points!  His school awarded him with a medal.

We are so proud of him and his hard work!

Apple "Pi" Pie

John made an apple pie and decided to make it a true "pi."

Disneyland with the Malaman Family!

My sister, Mandi, and her family came for a visit Thanksgiving week.  We had our Thanksgiving dinner on Wednesday and went to Disneyland together on Thursday (Thanksgiving).  Here are some highlights!  (And Mandi, I caught Logan looking in a couple of these!)

Merry Christmas!
