Halloween Party

Halloween is by far the most decorated holiday around my parents home. My mother LOVES Halloween and that is an under-statement.  She is known to some of her grandchildren as grandma halloween.   It was so fun to be there for this holiday.  We went trick or treating the night before so my kids didn't want to dress up again.  Actually, Gavin never dressed up. He refused.

We were able to go by and visit my Grandma Porter before. It is so strange seeing her get so old.  She is one of the most amazing women I know.  She never complains and has such a cheery disposition.  I want to be just like her. 


Here is a picture of her in high school. Isn't she beautiful.

Rolling down the hill was great until Gavin was bit by fire ants.  He had at least 15 bites on one leg. OUCH! Fire ants are lame.

I don't get to do these family get-togethers every month like the rest of my family but I certainly know why my mother is falling a sleep on a skeleton by the end of the night.  There were 30 plus people at her home and over 1/2 were kids, sugared-up kids at that.
