Halloween is one of my favorite holiday -- I love the festive colors, the trick or treating, pumpkin everything and the costumes! This year we wore bee related costumes. I was the Queen Bee, Zacky was a drone and Ben was our flower. (I loved the fact that he took on being the flower. His had to be a bit more simplistic, because he had to play in a concert on the night of Trunk or Treat at church.) Because this year Halloween fell on the Sabbath we decided to dress up in our costumes, have our traditional dinner of homemade pizza, hand-out candy and talk about the importance of death and the resurrection. Friday night, we did Trunk or Treat at church so Zacky got his fill of candy and on Saturday we did our traditional Halloween movies and other festive activities. In other words, I got to spread Halloween out over 3 days!!! Yay us!
I love Autumn, the look of trees ablaze in magentas, gold and oranges.
I love the crisp new crop of apples.
I love the smell of the air on a cool, crisp Autumn night.
I love that my family was a part of the Mayflower and the Fortune. Brave pilgrims that helped settle this country.
As much as I love these, I love my Heavenly Father and my little family even more.
