Our Halloween Tradition

Despite the craziness of life, one tradition has been consistent since the birth of my eldest. A few weeks before Halloween, we meet our dear friends for costume shopping and donuts! This year was no exception. Although much has changed since that first Halloween...

Here are our ladybugs...their first Halloween (unbelievably, 5 years ago)!


And here are our little ladies today!


I am thrilled that our girls are such great buddies because their mommas are old and dear friends! We know each other from days when we both had big hair and rusty old cars! And now that our hair has a few gray strands and our cars are SUVs and minivans, there's something magical in watching our girls pretend, play, and laugh together.


Through the years we've picked out ladybugs, puppy dogs, cows, princesses, clowns, pumpkins, dinosaurs...but this year...the girls had their own ideas about what they wanted to be! You'll have to wait until Halloween to see what we ended up with...but the girls are VERY excited with their selections!


Thanks, guys, for the fun morning, the memories, and your friendship...


oh...and the donuts!!
