The Great Pumpkin

Halloween is an interesting "holiday."  I have great memories of "trick-or-treating" around our neighborhood as a kid.  Our costumes were always homemade.  There was no such thing as a Halloween Store where you went and spent $$ on a costume.

I do have fond memories of taking our kids "trick-or-treating."  We always went by Carole's (Grammy's) house so she could see the kids.  Mrs. Robertson, across the street from Carole was another must.  She always gave the kids Silver Dollars.  We then made our way to Dr. Meltvedt's house.  He delivered ME, Jenna, Jordan, and Jonah.  He retired before Jaycee was born.  I remember he always LOVED seeing my kids.  Our last stop, was at Bufe and Roberta's.  Bufe was our Pastor of 28 years and we would never miss taking our kids to his home.  Roberta (Cookie, as she is affectionately known) would always invite us in for a homemade treat and apple cider.  Where has the time gone?

 

Jenna found a photographer who was doing Harvest Photos.  This is a sneak peak of some of her pictures.  My friend Linda Elia bought this little onsie for him.  He is a cutie!

 

We have this darling Pumpkin Patch right around the corner from our house.  Here's a few pictures of Jenna, Trenton, Jonah and Kase enjoying some family time!

It will be fun to see what NEW traditions will be started by this sweet family.  I'm sure a trip to Mimi's house is in store!
