Halloween 2014

Our Halloween Traditions have evolved over the years.  We start on Oct. 30 with our house Birthday. We went to eat at On The Border this year to celebrate 11 years in our house!  Then, we came home and did our pumpkin carving. We are now at the point where everyone gets their own pumpkin and they even get to carve them on their own, with a little help from Rick.  We had to do the carving in shifts because the older kids had homework to accomplish.

Each person creates their own design

Everyone is grossed out by the removing of the guts

This tradition is Ricks to lead

It can get gory!

Trick or Treating

Sam's loot.  He got the most candy

Lauren went to a Halloween party.

She and her friend, Emma were gumball machines

Cody was hanging out with some friends.  Evidently, they put on bandanas and went trick or treating. I don't think many people were impressed.  Someone even closed the door in their faces.  Oh, well, they probably should have put more effort into their costumes!!
