This year, we had a ninja, a policeman, and a unicorn for Halloween! It was the first year that Avery has really grasped the concept of dressing up and saying "Trick or Treat!" Each year, we only go to grandparent houses & our associate pastor's house to get candy so we were able to keep our standard routine this year which was a blessing. We spent our week preparing by watching "Donald Duck: Trick or Treat" and "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" (on DVD) and reading themed books like "Room on the Broom," "Pick a Pumpkin," "Curious George, Happy Halloween!," "Llama Llama Trick or Treat," and "Happy Halloween, Biscuit!" Tonight we had mummy dogs for dinner (crescent rolls cut into strips & wrapped around hot dogs) and "monster cookies" (peanut butter oatmeal chocolate chip cookies with m&m's), then headed out to trick or treat. Our fall weather arrived on Thursday mid-day just in time for the weekend so it was a fabulous day! With each Halloween, I always feel like the holiday season officially kicks off and my hope for 2020 is that we really take the time & presence to enjoy each moment.
Until Next Time,
Much Love, Reba
