its the beginning of the holidays....

Halloween marks the begging of my favorite holidays of the year....
So fun to end a year with lots of friends and family time....

I have never been to fond of Halloween but this year I had a blast and found a new perspective.
My kids had a blast dressing up and getting the real experience of knocking on doors for candy...
They loved it and I Loved watching them love it!

To start the the celebrating we joined playgroup for the Halloween party...
I do not have the group shot bc neither of my kids wanted to participate in it...
So I have learned to go with the flow...
They finally loosened up later on and had fun joining in all the activities!
