Happy Halloween 2010!

01 Nov 2010

M eanwhile, back at the casa… It was a RACE to carve the giant jack-o-lanterns, scrap together a ninja costume, pose for photos, pack up the crew, and get to our party on time. Thank heavens for Cole and Kiera (all the good photos below are Cole’s). We were invited to Oscar’s classmate’s home for Halloween. Shayan is such a sweetie, and his mom, Shideh, decorated their whole flat. We had lots for yummy food and drink, and they even put the game on. What game? No, you did not just ask that. (p.s. Below, note Mark’s clever “man-bag” full of G-men!)
So everyone was having a great time when it became time to head out for trick-or-treating. We walked along 6th avenue towards Lake St., where 6th dead ends. Then we came back the other side of the street. There were lots of people: young kids in really cute costumes! The weather was Awesome. Everyone was in a great mood. Then we came home (the kids were tired) in time to see the Giants Win! High fives and Candy.

Cutest moment of the day: checking voicemail (after that Awful reception black hole that is Berkeley)

Oscar’s 5th Birthday Party – Star Wars!

02 Sep 2010

One of my favorite parties ever! Oscar was truly enjoying every minute of it. Huge props to the Kelly girls for being such sports – They had not seen one bit of Star Wars, yet they were game to wear the costumes. (I will never forget Maria sweetly selling the Leia whites – “Bella, it’s a *Space* Princess.”)
Many, Many thanks to Sweet Kiera for the unforgettable cookies. Amazing. You keep raising the bar! The bonus S’mores cupcakes were a hit as well. Thank you family and friends, costumed and otherwise, and Special Appreciation to Uncle Alex as Chewbacca – you Made The Party!

Thanks to Cole, Kiera and Chief for much of the photography. You never can shoot your own party.
Enjoy the show! xo, Vale
