a new tradition...

For the past many years we do the same thing every year on October 31st.

We head up the hill...to Kris and Lisa's for the evening.

They put on a big spread...
and the kids leave with bags of treats!


Most who arrive at the door come incognito...

...even the big kids.

But Grammy and Grandpa opt to come as themselves!

The youngest of the gang was a cupid...complete with bow.

Oh...and we celebrated his birthday while we were all together.
What fun!  
More on that soon.
I think it will be a new tradition.

    It seems like you are starting a tradition we've held dear for many years already. Happy 1st birthday to the little one.

  6. This sounds like a great tradition. Your little cupid is darling, but he doesn't look thrilled to be cast in that role. Maybe he just wanted to get at the cake.

  10. That's funny...we've hardly ever celebrated Halloween..when the kids were smaller we used to dress up and drive around the neighbor hood and then invite everyone over and shoot illegal fire works into the air...
    Would you like to wear Miss Dino's outfit next year..One size fits all, then you can surprise your group.
