And then, suddenly it felt like, the holidays are here. How did the time come so fast!
We are falling into a nice tradition with Halloween. Now it is my grandchildren who come early to my house so they can go trick-or treating before the dinner of Chili and Scones.
First I had to head to work for the day, so for the first time in a long time actually dressed up for Halloween since while I was away from the office, it was decided that all of the therapists were dressing up for the day. It was a hit with my grandchildren, too.
Ben came and spent the evening with us and took up the job of "twin holding." This is Alex with Ben.
Scarlett and Liam both chose Owlett for their costume so they had fun flying around the neighborhood for the evening.
When I asked them to stop and pose for the picture, Scarlett immediately spread her wings so Liam followed suit.
One of our neighbors had a movie running on their garage door "screen". Liam loved it and I loved this shot I got of him watching it.
Dinner gathering of Halls and related cousins.
Eric ended up playing games in the basement with some of the littles.
Seriously, it was one of the best Halloweens in a long time. Work was fun and relaxing as we engaged in the parties with the preschool classes and handed out candy. Gary put together the chili and Vonette brought the dough for the scones. We ate, we talked, and we laughed. And we loved checking out the costumes of the neighborhood kids although we had lots of candy left over because the number of kids is dropping in our area.
Let the holiday season ring................
