Halloweens Past and Present

Can you believe these photos?

Emily's first Halloween- she was a cute little Peacock.

And look at her now- a Beautiful Prom Queen.

Jake has grown from a Police Officer to a

Night in Shining Armor.

I can't believe how they have grown.

I remember making these

costumes and the excitement

over their first Halloween.

I am sure they had no idea why I was dressing them up

and carting them around.

But the memories are priceless!
I look at these photos and can't believe how much time has passed.

In some ways it makes me sad.

But in others I am excited about what is next to come.

I hope they never grow out of the fun that such holidays can bring...

even if they grow up and think they are too old to trick or treat.

I think the best part of Halloween is the permission it gives each of us to just have fun.

Remember to never take yourself so seriously

that you can't laugh at yourself.

Life is too short to be a stick in the mud!
