Lumberjacks & Jack-O-Lanterns

How can you not love Halloween?  Especially if you're a parent.  It's seriously the best thing ever watching your child/children have such a great time dressing up, getting free candy (a LOT of it), & seeing friends in their costumes...

Last night was perfect out.  A little chilly, but not so cold that you had to cover up those spooky costumes with winter coats.  I remember a couple of Halloweens when I was little that there was even snow on the ground...brr!

Our little lumberjack had a blast!  Dad had to work late (life of a college coach...sigh), so I took off work early so we could get our costumes on, pick up grandma, & head over to the ECFE Halloween party for a little while before trick-or-treating.  We had fun with the crafts, but I think Grady will probably be too old to attend next year...he just wanted to get to the candy part!




Those little teeth peeking out of the beard kill me...haha!



He's a natural!  Great form, kid!


After the party, we walked a couple of streets in our neighborhood & even found Santa's house...as in the Santa that comes to our mall each year!  He totally commits to the role...year round, real beard & long white hair & all!  It was hilarious to hear all of the kids yelling, "thanks, Santa!" after they got their candy...I think they wanted to make sure he knew that they had good manners!  :)  (Side note: Notice Santa's tattoo...he usually shows up to his mall duty in his biker jacket...did you guys know that Santa rides a Harley?!)


So stoic & manly!






We hope you all had as much fun as we did last night!  :)
