All we were missing was the yellow brick road
(oh, and the Tin Man, and the Wizard, and the munchkins, and the Wicked Witch of the East...)


Neves Family Productions presents
The Wizard of Oz
(or Wicked, if that's what you prefer)

The cast of characters, in the order they happened to be photographed by mom.

Dorothy (played by Chloe)




The Good Witch of the North, aka Galinda, aka Glinda the Good (played by Bria)




The Cowardly Lion (played by Sophia)




The Scarecrow, aka Fiyero (played by Joel)




The Wicked Witch of the West, aka Elphaba (played by Lara)

Costumed by Lara, who is rather impressed with herself.
We all had oodles of fun, and oodles of candy.
Hope your Halloween was all it's cracked up to be!

    DID YOU EAT CANDY? If so, bad you -- if not, I'm proud of you. I must admit it helps when you feel VERY nauseated after you eat a peice. It kept me steering clear of stealing from my children this year.
    The costumes are AMAZING? Don't you feel an amazing sense of pride and the ingratitude of your children? :) You are da' bomb. Will this be your Christmas card this year?

    I am uber impressed! I knew you guys would look great, but I had no idea you'd look that great!!! Awesome! I was going to be a stick figure for Halloween this year, but then I decided to just go casual and be myself! :)

    AmAzInG! Me & the boys have been scrolling through the pics together & they think Uncle Joey is sooo funny! (spot on Joel)

    I must say, seeing Bria with that pretty makeup on makes me a little nervous for her future. (gorgeous)

    Happy Baptism Day!

    Wow! You all look amazing! And you, Ms. Lara, look fabulous as the witch! Kudos to you on whipping up an unforgettable Halloween with your own hands!

    As for me, ugh. Halloween not so good. Our few trick-or-treaters consisted of a handful of mostly way-too-old, sullen teenagers, and the pumpkin I carved (see blog) got stolen right off of our front porch. Cranky it made us, and violated we felt. But we got the last laugh: we gave out boxes of raisins! Mwa ha ha ha ha! (Evil witch cackle!)
