GRATITUDE - October 31, 2012

I AM GRATEFUL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPERIENCE HALLOWEEN WITH LITTLE KIDS AGAIN.

The next generation Weltons

Zak as Luigi

I love the memories of Halloween when my four children were little. They looked forward to that evening of pretend and magic probably as much as Christmas.

They couln't wait to get their costumes on and dredge the neighborhood for chocolate (except for the dentist that always gave out toothbrushes - ha).

That was a long time ago (pics included below).

Tonight was special. Two of my three grandsons with their Mom and Dad came over to trick or treat our neighborhood. Little Linkin Z'd out early and will have to wait until next year.

'Look, Grandpa has
a lot more candy!'

Zak and Kyan were up for it and looked great in their little costumes.

Sweet little Kyan finally woke up halfway through the trek around the block and kept giving his candy away after each house.

Sarah, no longer "little", got to be the chaperone for Kyan.

Zak agreed that when he had to drag his pumpkin full of lollipops along the sidewalk because of the weight - it would be time to go.
