2015 Halloween…Wally joined us!

Irish Eyes Photography 2015 Halloween-298

Halloween, as established, is a high holy day in the O’Brien House. Castle Island, school party, Broadway Trick or Treating and Halloween itself were all part of this year’s festivities. And one more special guest, Wally the Green Monster.  This year’s costumes…. Burger King and Wendy!

A note about the school Halloween Party first- this is the first year Bren decided to wear his actual Halloween costume to the party. That marks three years he has worn a dress to the school party (Merida, Elphaba and Wendy). With no issue at all.  Just Brendan being Brendan. Grateful to a school and community that allows this to be a non-issue.

IMG_1079I saw a tweet from the Red Sox about Halloween costumes that were Red Sox inspired.  I happened to be putting together a slide show of all the kids costumes- including Bren’s first Halloween as Wally, a couple of days after the 2007 World Series. So I entered it and then saw it was part of a contest.

A contest that we won.  Our prize- Wally the Green Monster would be Trick or Treating with us!!!

A few years ago for a family movie night, we introduced the kids to Back to the Future.  They liked all three movies and decided last year year for Halloween to be Marty and Doc. In the second movie Marty and Doc travel 30 years in the future- to 2015. Some things were right on and others were wrong (no hover boards!!).

back to the future Happy Back to the Future Day!

 

Liz and Tuck got married!

My good friend Elizabeth got married! Liz and Tuck’s wedding was beautiful- it was held on Thompson’s Island with the city in the background. We kicked off the wedding weekend with a bowling party and then celebrated and stayed over on the island.

Liz and Tuck asked the kids to do a reading at their wedding. Not just any reading, Judge Kennedy’s marriage equality ruling from this past June. They did great!
