Halloween 2011

Jeremy and I LOVE to celebrate Halloween!  For me, it's about the pumpkins, turning leaves, and cool, crisp days.  For Jeremy (and now Derick too) it's about the SPOOOOOKY!!  Darla is on the fence, for now.  We'll see where she falls as she continues to grow into the holiday. 

We had a wonderful time celebrating, this year.  Get ready for a TON of photos! I just can't help it, I have such CUTE subjects. Here are the pics from our fun events. 

Derick and Daddy getting creative with sidewalk chalk.  Spoooooky!

 Carving night with the Barretts and Diede.  Great fall dinner too, thanks guys!!

Carpinito's pumpkin patch; we lucked out on the weather!  The day before and the day after: rain.  But not for us.  Thank you, Mother!

 Lucas, Timmy's son, was able to join us this year.  He's SOOOO cute!

 Papa Lonnie with the kiddos.  He's happiest when they are around.  Wouldn't you be??

 My lil lady, pickin pumpkins.             Jer and I. Love you, Babe.

 Papa with the kids.

 Cousin love!  Makes my heart sing!!!!

Rawr faces.  Scary.  Really.

Back to the house to CARVE!!

  Face painting by Jordan and Gabby.  Too cute!!

 Nonna getting a little snuggle from one tired girl.  She took a cat nap right in the middle of the party. 

 Yup, that's Jewel attempting to put her head inside the pumpkin.  Of course, they all had to try it. 

 My handsome boy, getting messy.  He loves this part the best.

 Darla did wake up enough to carve, with a big assist from Nonna.  Here, she's making hair on the back of her pumpkin.  That's our girl!

 Derick with his pumpkin, designed completely by himself.  Daddy's is the ghost in green. COOL!

 All the pumpkins, carved. 

Halloween NIGHT; it's all about the candy and costumes!

 Darla and Jordan, sweet!

 My kiddos, getting ready to go.

 Derick, Jewel, and Dominic-Vader.

 I love that Jewel and Jordan come over to Trick or Treat with D & D.  It's such a fun tradition!

Happy Halloween to all!
