Halloween Traditions!

   When our kids were little we had a few traditions every year.  So we no longer do because they have grown pass some of them and other have stopped because of life events.  Non-the-less they are memories that I think fondly of every year.

   One of the traditions that we don't do any more in the kids would get dressed up and go to my grandparents house.  We lost my grandma in 2005 and my grandpa in 2012, so unfortunately that tradition we cant do anymore.  Most of their neighbors have also passed away or no longer live in the area.  Most of our kids don't go trick or treating any more, they now help hand out candy.

   One traditions we still do is watch "The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown", yes even my teens.  It was something we did with my grandparents every year and a way to keep that memory going.  We have also always had chili for dinner before trick or treating.  Most of the time after we got home also.  They would always be hungry after walking and it helps warm them up.

   Make memories with your families.   Breath in their littleness when you can.  Hold on to traditions as long as you can.

Happy Halloween, Be Safe, Have Fun!
