Trick or Treat...

For the first time in a long time we bought and carved pumpkins, the night before Halloween (nothing like waiting till the last minute). Reece was in bed, Sam was asleep in the guest room, and Brooke and Dan stayed up late with us as we all tried our hand sculpting our pumpkins. I must say that you can tell who the creative couple is (the two on the right are from the Brand household). Joe even took the seeds and cooked them for us as a late night snack. It was very tasty.

On Halloween we dressed Reece up in his monkey costume and sat out on the driveway ready to greet all the trick or treaters. It was such a beautiful night and everyone seemed to be in great spirits. Reece loved watching all of these dressed up people come up and grab for candy. He eventually started grabing for candy himself. Sorry buddy -- maybe next year. A little into the evening, the Brand family came and joined us and we had a party with our lighted pumpkins and dressed up babies. It was such great fun --- it is so nice to be able to take a dark holiday and brighten it up by laughing and being with friends.
