We kicked off our Halloween festivities by carving our pumpkin. We all had a part in creating Mr. Pumpkin - I drew the face, Tony carved, Allison removed the guts, and Nolan supervised. Tony hadn't carved a pumpkin in quite some time...so he sliced off Mr. Pumpkin's top tooth! He wasn't too upset...he just kept smiling!

Henegar came over and brought Lisa and Lucas along with them. My dad stopped by as well, to celebrate Nolan's first Halloween with us. All three kids went trick-or-treat and was out for an hour and half! No one cried, no one threw a fit - I can't believe it!
Afterwards, everyone enjoyed some Skyline and and candy. It was a really fun night!
We finished decorating our Christmas tree today....YEAH! It's been a process that has been spread over three days due to holiday, work and school schedules. Regardless, decorating the Christmas tree has always been my favorite! I have an ornament for every year since my first Christmas - It was a tradition my grandmother started - So decorating the tree always brings back good family memories. Tony and I have passed this tradition on to our children and hope that it will bring joy and good memories to them as well.
