Well the time is here....Halloween Time!! Mom loved Halloween! I think it is fair to say that Halloween was her most favorite holiday. When we were young she always had so much fun dressing us kids up. Her and Grandma(Miller) had some pretty crazy ideas for us kids, and we loved every minute of it. Carving pumpkins was another fun thing that we all loved doing as a family. I'm sure Mom just loved cleaning up the mess we made too!

We loved going Trick-or-Treating. Mom and Dad would take us around to houses all over Egin, then we'd go to Parker. We used to get so much candy! It's fun to think back on all the adventures we had Trick-or-Treating. There was always a dog that we'd encounter that wanted to chew off our leg, or some elderly couple that just wanted to sit and visit....ALL NIGHT LONG! And the best is when we were gathering candy off the ground because one of us tripped in a hole or snow drift. Good times!
As we got older, the Trick-or-Treating faded but Mom decided to start having Halloween parties, and we all had to dress up!
The whole family.

Lots and lots of laughs! Since Mom has been gone we've been good to carry on the tradition with the family Halloween party. It's not the same, but I know she's there laughing at all our crazy costumes! We love you Mom and we'll be thinking of you this Halloween!!!

Those are super Halloween pictures. I miss going trick-or-treating, but I still take my kids to quite a few older people's homes because I know they love seeing the kids dressed up! Your family always has the cutest Halloween costumes! Way to keep up the tradition your mom started of Halloween parties!
Thanks for sharing. It brought back memories of when I was a kid. I just had to laugh when you said that you would clean your candy up off the ground because someone tripped in a hole. It would happen to us also. There was even a time my mom accidently backed the suburban into a ditch and it threw our candy everywhere. Halloween is a great time of year. Glad to see you keep the traditions going.
I love those pics! It brings back so many memories. I loved trick or treating around parker! We had a lot of fun!! I think I was the one that tripped all the time and losing my candy. I definetly remember a few times for sure!
I love all the memories also. Thanks for keeping them all alive and keeping up with your traditions. I actually drove forward into a ditch at Stew Dexter's. But, I put it in reverse really fast and we bailed out of the ditch as fast as we went in. It makes me laugh. Christopher cried and cried because he went flying and his candy went everywhere. Good times.
