Halloween Season

A few days before Halloween, we all got together and went to the corn maize... Utah nights get cool once the sun goes down. I was disoriented most of the time and was just a follower wanting to get out and eat a donut.

The grandkids had a good time trick or treating, but had even a better time once they got back here and sat on the porch passing out candy. It was sooo cute to see. Trying to take their pictures all together can be tricky... but we keep trying. Abby was a flapper girl this year. I had to mend, mend and mend that dress and even still, everytime she moved, we lost beads. She was a beauty!

 

 

 

 

 

Halloween 2014

Thankfully our Halloween weather was perfect! Larry made his chili and the girls made cornbread, homemade rootbeer and caramel apple slices and we settled in for a night of answering the doorbell. We actually had very few trick or treaters this year. Afterwards, Taylor and Josh dropped by and we played a fun game of Pictionary.  I remember the thrill of trick or treating for as long as possible and then coming back and sorting my candy. Yes Smarties and Dum Dums were in the last pile, but even they started looking good when they were the last ones left. I don't see that urgency from the kids of today. Could it be candy is no longer special?

My memories of this Halloween would have to be Lindsey and Lucy when we took pictures. Lucy did not cooperate and sometimes a snapshot of real life brings an even better smile when you look back on them.
