Happy Halloween from Italy!

I bet most of you are feeling bad for us during the holiday season, thinking we don't get to feel as American during our time on foreign soil...

Bad news for ya: we got TWO Halloweens this year!  This past weekend, the USO put together a fun outdoor family night at the high school track. Liam was able to rock out in his Cookie Monster gear and go down a huge bouncy slide. And last night for the big Halloween spectacular, some of our battalions in the 173rd organized a wonderful gathering at the base. Only our units, only our kids, only our decorations, only our candy. No tears from anyone that I could see! Just fun, friends, and tons of holiday spirit. There was even a chili cook-off!

Enjoy these pictures -- and try not to laugh too hard at Baby Kelly 4's appearance as Elmo.
