Something Special: Halloween Trick or Treat

Here are a few pictures of how I spent my Halloween day and evening.  I love making Halloween all about my kids, getting to go to their school to help with their classroom parties and costume parade is such a special thing to me. I also love our group of neighborhood friends that we go trick or treating with each year.  The kids always have such a blast with all of their friends and I am sure  they are making memories that will last their lifetime.

Something Special

My grandma used to have a grand collection of these Halloween cut-outs that she had collected through the 60s 70s and 80s very similar to these.  When I was little I loved helping her tape them up to her huge picture window every October. I remember I was always a little scared of the witch though.
