We used to celebrate Halloween every year. Before I retired I worked in a medical office where we all dressed up in costumes and celebrated at the office. That was fun finding different costumes to wear each year. And of course when our two sons were young we enjoyed helping them with costumes and taking them trick or treating and to other holiday activities. Then when our two grandchildren came along they would often come out to show us their costumes and trick or treat in our neighborhood. It was fun for them to trick or treat in the same neighborhood that their Dad had lived in as a child.

These days even our two grandchildren are grown so we have no little ones celebrating. But we still enjoy our many memories of happy times spent with our children and grandchildren. With no new Halloween pictures I thought I would post a few memories from Halloween 2004.

Our Grandson Gavin was a Hobbit, complete with sword and toothbrush! And following the theme of the night our Granddaughter Annika was Arwen from The Lord of the Rings.
We feel blessed to have celebrated many fun holidays with our family. I hope all of you have a wonderful weekend whether you celebrate Halloween or not!
Happy family memories. Thanks for sharing Bonnie.
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend YP!
DeleteIt's hard to believe all your grandchildren are grown. But then, so are mine.
ReplyDeleteWell I only have two grandchildren and they are now 18 and 23. Our grandchildren grew up twice as fast as our children did in my opinion. At least it seems like that!
DeleteTime marches on!
ReplyDeleteIt sure does Red!
DeleteI'm glad you have some of these memories captured in photos. Happy Halloween!

ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween, Bonnie. Lots of good memories. :)
ReplyDeleteI love family pictures for the memories they bring. I hope you had a good weekend Rita!
DeleteSimply looking at the number, 2004 does not seem all that far away, does it. But when you look at how your grandchildren have grown, and what has been going on in the world since then, it seems like a different era.
ReplyDeletePS: Your Jack O'Lantern looks really scary!!
DeleteYes, isn't it funny how time speeds by and so much seems to change in a flash! Tom always carved our pumpkins and did a good job too.
Deletebeautiful memories, I love looking at old photo's of our children and grandchildren.
