First Halloween

A few days before Halloween we headed out to Medina Lake to spend a few days with my best friend of over 15 years and her sweet family.

Making blueberry pancakes

 Sampling the batter

 BFFs next generation

Brannon painting pumpkins (this kid has some serious art skills...seriously!

His pumpkins turned out amazing!!!)

 Macy painting pumpkins...also she thinks green paint is delish!

Xander really seemed to enjoy it!

 He was so focused on painting!

 Little fingers in paint! I think I loved it as much as he did! 

 15 mins later he is still working on his masterpiece!

After we got back from the lake house we had a day to whip together a Halloween costume for Xander. It was a bit of a mom fail that I didn't get his costume ready ahead of time. Instead, based on a great suggestion from a friend (Peter) the night before we decided Xander should be Charlie Brown.

His FIRST trick-or-treat!

Halloween is such a kid oriented holiday and it was so much fun to experience it with Xander! And just a few more pictures of my favorite little pumpkin...

 Happy Halloween!
