Halloween 09'

Lets see if I can catch myself up on here.  This blogging thing sure does escape me.  I don't know how all of these women keep up with it so wonderfully :)  I thought about doing one big 

BLOG-O-RAMA, but I thought I would make it easier on you, and not have a post that takes 30 minutes to read.  Rather I will break it up over this next week with smaller blurbs about us.  

First thing first, and almost exactly where I left off.....

Halloween!  

It was my absolute favorite Halloween ever.  We went over to our friends Aaron and Anita's and just had soo much fun roaming the neighborhood.  Their neighborhhod is the best for trick or treating.  They have so many kids and families, and homes go all out with the decorating, there is even a spooky cul-de-sac.  Half of the time Griffin rode in his wagon and the rest of the time I carried him door to door so he could experience trick or treating to its fullest.   I also baked a couple pumpkin pies before hand ( one dairy free)  and Anita made tortilla soup, mmmmm!   Griffin's Grammi and Oscar came also and shared in it all with us.

Well it was wonderful and it only made me even more excited for next years Halloween.  I know celebrating Halloween is disliked by some and I don't even know the origins or the history of it, but what I love about it is first, dressing up and playing make believe, second having your neighbors open their doors to you and welcome you to share a sweet treat, and lastly I just love every holiday because it is a chance to create a wonderful family tradition.  I remember every holiday tradition as a kid and it bringing me so much excitement and comfort.

And this year Griffin didn't eat any candy so we were able to skip on the over sugared child, but this mommy and daddy sure did indulge :)  

And I have to say that he was the cutest mushroom ever!  

Thanks for reading.  Love you all.
