It didn’t take much thought this year to come up with the perfect costume for Eva.  Lately, she’s been into roaring like a lion.  Her Papa (my Dad) always growls to her on the telephone.  So every time she talks to him she says, “Papa…grrrr!”. She also calls Jeff’s dad “Papa”, but we know the difference when she says, “Papa..grrr” that she is referring to my dad.  It got me thinking about how cute she would look in a lion outfit, growling down the boulevard with her golden locks coming through the lion’s mane.

We had such a fun time with our friends and their son Lance. We met up at the Riviera Village in Redondo Beach where they block off an entire section of the road for families to walk up and down and collect candy from the store owners.  It was exhausting but fun. We ended the night at one of our favorite spots for dinner and a few brews at the “Redondo Beach Brewing Company”.

Here’s Lance as a “Swash-buckling Pirate”. I think he played the role pretty well.

As you can see from the picture on the right Eva is trying to lean in for a kiss.  But, Pirates don’t kiss…they have serious pirating to do.

They held hands for a few seconds just enough time for me to snap these few pictures.
