A New Kind of Tradition








Every year since Connor was born we would go to Mason and Kellie's for Halloween. Well, this was the first year we weren't able to do that since they moved to Arizona. It wouldn't be the same without going door to door with Connor and Carson but knowing they would be back in a few years (although by then Connor may be to big for trick or treating) makes it better. So, in their absence we went trick or treating in our own neighborhood which was a first for us. We had family, friends and neighbors over for soup, hors d'oeuvres, and dessert before setting out to watch the kids transform in their costumes and fill their bags with candy, Capri suns and even a diet coke! After getting enough candy to make any one's belly ache we went across the street to movie night at the neighbors. They were kind enough to show Charlie Brown's Great Pumpkin before their feature film, Ghost busters which allowed Hayden along with his friends to take part in movie night. Hayden, Aidan and Addison had so much fun and were so cute cuddled up on their blanket sharing popcorn and cheerios while sipping juice boxes. They whispered to each other and laughed together and where the cutest things. Andrea, Kevin, Erin and I had the best view watching them from behind. We are hoping to make this an annual tradition, at least until the original creators of this idea, Mason and Kellie, return. Thanks to all who brought food and fellowship as this made Halloween alot of fun.
