Halloween 2007

I love Halloween! It feels like the official kick off to the holiday season. The days just seem to speed by between Halloween and Christmas. When I was little our Halloween tradition was to eat chili and rice, dress up and all of my cousins would come over to trick or treat. When Brad and I bought our first house we started doing this, but then it was only to dress Avery and my cousin's dog Cobi up for Halloween. Now that 2 of my cousins and myself have kids of our own we are back at the old tradition of chili and rice (& we added hotdogs for Brad since he's so darn picky!) and we are dressing our children up and taking them trick or treating. Last year was so much fun and everyone seemed so little. I can't wait unti this year when we can trick or treat with our "big" boys and my cousin Shane is bringing a trailer filled with hay so that we can have a hay ride through the neighborhood.

Here are some pictures of last Halloween. Braden was so little!
