Happy Halloween!

This year we took it easy with our costumes. Griffin and Kai chose store-bought Transformers attire and Treyson picked out a monkey suit passed down from the DeWitt family collection.

I didn't get a picture of him but he was an ASU fan wearing pretty much anything Sun Devil he could find.

Mwuuah-ah-ah!!
