Unhaunted Halloween Party & more!

Yay!!! It's almost Halloween!!!!!!! That means LOADS of awesome Halloween festivities and we're taking full advantage! Though it's looking like we won't make the annual Pumpkin Train, we've had lots in store this year - new and old, and are having some serious fun.

Last night we all chipped in to carve McKinley's pumpkin. Though he's not really old enough to do the carving himself (with a VERY safe knife, I might add), he did get to help draw the face on and help me cut a little. We think he got the biggest kick out of removing the guts. And much to our surprise, he made a game out of throwing the seeds throughout the living room. That was a fun clean up...anyway, we love the outcome. McKinley's pumpkin is WAY cute and he's been chatting about it ever since!

Tonight we met Robin & Savannah at Deming Park for their annual Unhaunted Halloween. The kids had a ball on the train (where McKinley nearly burst from shear excitment) and on the hayride. While we were in line, we sipped hot chocolate and listened to the kids get wound up. In line for the hayride McKinley and Savannah were jumping and dancing, chanting "JUMP! JUMP! JUMP!" in anticipation of the empending ride. They were adorable dancing together and screaming, "CHEEEEEEEESE" for the camera. So fun!

After the park festivities, we headed to Dennis & Karen's house for their annual Fall Gathering. McKinley & Savannah giggled and laughed while swinging together on Karen's porch swing. It was precious, and the event even gathered a crowd. After we ate everyone went outside to gather by one of the bonfires to listen to Dennis & Karen's grandchildren tell scary stories. Sophia attached herself to Savannah and Max to McKinley, while Grace enjoyed them all. It was heartwarming to see everyone gathered by the fire.



What a chilly night, but so worth it!
