On Saturday night the Deal family celebrated THREE holidays – Suzanne (Mama Deal) and Connor’s (son Deal) birthday AND Halloween!  

Our extended family celebrated two birthdays at Halloween - Suzanne Deal's and her son Connor's. You didn't have to threaten a trick in order to get a yummy treat ... plenty of yummy morsels.

Everybody dressed up – it was a great opportunity to pretend to be something you aren’t – at least not in public on a regular day.  The house looked great and the food was delicious!  Can’t wait – let’s do it again next year!  

Some strange people showed up for this party. Len Wilkinson with Connor Deal, Gracie and Renny.

Lauren and Jacob Boyett apear to be having a good time!

Little Red Riding Hood (Kimberly Golden King) and the Wolf made their peace at the party!

The cake was delicious - half vanilla and half chocolate all under chocolate icing!

Michelle Prytula came as an Identity Crisis - pretty clever costume!

Everybody wants to be a comedian! Even the skull ...

The table was set eerily appropriate!

No particular holiday - It was just ghouls night out ...

Thank you Ladies for joining us for Tea on Sunday, November 27th!

It was wonderful to see you all.  I hope we achieved our objective of giving everyone a break from the craziness of the holiday weekend.

I certainly enjoyed it.

Special thanks to Linda Flynn for whipping up those yummy hors d’oeuvres.  We’ll be posting the recipes soon …

Naturally, being Americans, we had to have COFFEE too, but we really enjoyed the vanilla flavored hot tea from Celestial Seasonings.   We even tried one of Baileys Coffee Creamers – the original Irish Cream flavor – for a really decadent cup of tea. 

An afternoon Ladies’ Tea – just another way to put a little romance back into daily living …

Plenty to eat, but nothing too heavy! We had Linda's stuffed mushrooms and pinwheels, sugar cookies, our Romantic Mexican Wedding Cakes, "A Pirates Favorite Rum Balls" and more. Check under our Cooking category for the recipes ...
