Happy Halloween

Not every tradition is planned. This year marks our 8th year of having a Halloween cookout! We still try to keep it pretty simple but it does take a group to have it all come together. We took the kids over to the pumpkin shoot with Gran & Papa. It looked like rain so we set up tables in the garage. We had a big turnout this year...40 folks! Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins and friends. Fortunately for us the rain held off. This year Caden went as DJ C! His costume was a box with three bins. People got to vote for their favorite type of music by placing their candy in the bins. Hip hop won by a landslide! Alli was our little poodle girl! We made her skirt with YaYa's help and she loved it so much we had to make one for her too! After dinner and trick or treating, we set up the outdoor movie screen. The kids watched Monsters Inc. and we all had Smores! It was a wonderful evening!
