Our Version of Black Friday

We did Black Friday in our traditional way - no early rising or long lines just good times together at a relaxed pace! This year we started at Pottery Barn and then headed to Kirkwood and Old Town Webster Groves. Great time and some neat finds.

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to you from the Henley Family. May your day be richly blessed. God has been so good to us this last year!

SCW Players present "Night of January 16th"

Eric is a set builder and stage hand with the SCW Players. Tonight we went to see their fall play, "Night of January 16th". It all takes place in a New York Courtroom. The set they built was awesome. The play is good and the twist is each night there is a volunteer jury so nobody knows if they find her guilty or not guilty till the jury announces their verdict. Eric said they practice it both ways! The play is again on Monday night at 7:30 pm at St. Charles West High.

Part of the courtroom. The judge Brad was in band with Colton and Kyle. This is his senior year.

The two ladies steal the show!

Proud parents!

It was a "Boo"tiful Halloween!

The weather was perfect, the kids young and old came in fun costumes, good friends and yummy treats made for a perfect evening. We were blessed to have many of our friends and family join us for our Annual Halloween Open House. Here are a few pics from the evening! Aren't they cute? This was Corrina's first trick or treating experience. The veterans Kalista, Isaac and Emma showed her the ropes!

They always have "spook"tacular family costumes! The Scooby Doo Gang!

Good friends make the night special.

Jimmy, Amber and Corrina joined us for the evening.

What an "udder" surprise to open the door and find Sharon and Mike in costume! The cow and crazed farmer.

We have come to expect the outlandish from Susan and now Jeff and Connie have stepped it up to a whole new level!

Love the Mommas and their kids!
