It's November!!!
Trick Or Treat, Smell My Feet, Give Me Something Good To Eat...
Last night was awesome!!! I forgot how much fun it was to go Trick or Treating... Ok, yeah, the last time I've been was in high school. My sister and I would dress up and walk around with our pillow sacks. Well, those were the days when it was still cool for high school kids to go knock on people's doors and ask for candy!!! Nowadays, the high school kids don't even dress up anymore... They just show up and DEMAND some candy! Not so cute... but we did see a bunch of interesting costumes!
Anyways, so we took Michael, Rachel and Andie around their neighborhood. Michael was Darth Vader, Rachel was a witch, and Andie was a bride! Oh, the things kids do to get some candy!!! Halloween is truly their favorite occasion/holiday(??)!!! It was neat to see the houses with their Halloween decors on the lawn. Then there's always this one house that stands out. This one was so "tricked" out (no pun intended... lol) that the owner even kept his garage door open and had fog machines blowing here and there... It was really cool, but I couldn't imagine spending that much money on ghoulish stuff... Christmas, Yes, but Halloween??? I don't think so!

Darth Vader, Rob as "The Donald", JB, Kevin, the witch and the bride
Today's the first day of November... I love knowing that the Holidays are so close... Next week would be the start of it. No work on Friday (11/10) because of Veteran's day and then Thanksgiving on the 23rd and the 24th!!! I can't wait to decorate our house for Christmas and start new traditions for Rob and I!!! We still haven't made up our minds as to whether we would have a fresh Christmas tree or a synthetic one... we'll see! Our living room has a high ceiling, so we were thinking of getting a 10 foot one, but that would be a pain in the butt to put up if we get a fresh one! We decided that we would decorate the day after Thanksgiving--on Friday night--after the traditional Post-Thanksgiving shopping sales that start at 5 AM of course! We have to get all the decorations up before the first week of December because we're having a Christmas photo shoot at our house with our wedding photographer, Karen Lucchini!
So... cheers to leaves turning red, orange and yellow... to cooler nights and chilly mornings... to roasted turkeys and yummy dressings... to pumpkin pies and sweet potato casseroles... to Post-Thanksgiving sales and Early Christmas shoppings... to Festival of Lights and Christmas parades... and most importantly, to families who gather together and cherish moments like these!!!
