Halloween Traditions:

Some new, some old but we had fun with them all!

Little Pumpkin and I started early in the day . . . we made a some sugar cookie dough. She was a excellent little helper! *wink*

After dinner we started making cookies! These cookie cutters were passed down from my Nanny! I can remember some of them vividly. I hope this will be a new tradition for us! Thanks Aunt Amy for passing them along.

Tia and Lolly came out to join in the festivities! So glad we could make memories with them too!

Next: Caramel apples! Daddy Lion and I have made caramel apples nearly every Halloween we've been married. Mmmm.... as Little Lion said: "I like them better than plain green apples!"

Tia was very proud of her apple! And I must say her caramel apple turned out the best!

And now for the featured event: Pumpkin carving! Little Lion did good digging into his pumpkin.

Little Pumpkin was less than impressed with the goo!

They both got a bit out then passed on the responsibility! Little Lion drew out his pattern on a piece of paper for Tia to carve his pumpkin. While Little Pumpkin picked a pattern out of our pumpkin carving kit . . .

Little Lion's creation!

Daddy Lion took over Little Pumpkin's carving . . . maybe letting her pick a pattern was a little much. She took a break to decorate and eat her yummy cookie. It was a hit!

Little Pumpkin's pumpkin all lit up! A spider!?! Yes, I know . . .

Me and my little sis! Isn't she gorgeous!?!

Our finished creations . . . Daddy Lion and I ended up finishing up . . . apparently it's only as fun for as many as you get to eat! *grin*

The caramel apple remnants; they were a success too!

Happy Halloween!
