Tori McHugh turns 4!

Since Pat and Lori probably won't have time to post this, I thought everyone would want to see how big Tori is getting! She turned 4 on Jan. 1 and had her birthday party at Pizza Hut in Frederick. It was big fun and of course the most popular play toy were the balloons. A fun time was had by all. I had to add a pic of Aileen---she's getting ready to walk is really into her "Old Daddy" (Ger) playing pat-a-cake with her.

Happy New Year to all---maybe we can plan a cousins beach weekend this summer!

HAPPY (no) TURKEY DAY!!!! gobble gobble..................

I love all the great halloween pics! I must admit that John and I didn't get Aileen out to get candy (John doesn't each sweets and God knows I don't need it!) but at least we got her in her costume.

If anyone is interested, John and I are hosting Thanksgiving at our house in Annapolis---everyone is welcome to witness my first attempt at cooking a turkey! We'll start around 3 pm, so just let me know and we'll set a place for you!

All the best always,

Love,

Katie, John, Aileen and Murphy (he's been feeling a little ignored lately so we're trying to make sure he knows that he's still part of the family)

I'm sorry AJ was unable to don his chicken suit for this picture, but Molly the Mummy Queen and Bridget the Pirate had friends join them for the festivities. Evan hated the whole thing, including his Thomas the Train costume, so he went as "Linus" with blankie and thumb sucking. Sadly Molly & Bridget didn't even know who Linus was, pointing clearly to our failures as parents. We are ashamed. Evan did recover once he realized there was candy involved, and that he would be riding in the red wagon, while Kendra rode in style in the Addams family style pram...we were quite a sight. I went as myself, the witch...should be no surprise to anyone who has been around our house at homework time!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Happy Halloween from the DC McHugh's!
