Happy Halloween! It's that time of year again. This year we had a couple of firsts. 2006 was Jessica's first Halloween, and Kaylee's first Trick-or-Treat. This was also the first time we carved a Jack-O-Lantern.
Even our big spider had a big year. This year the spider was joined by a baby spider attached to the garage window. Again this year we got a lot of compliments on how great our decorations were for Halloween.
Kaylee even helped put up some of the spider-web for the mother spider. Unfortunately that was after we took the picture to the left.
A few weeks ago we visited a nearby "Haunted" farm. There we went on a wild hay ride, pet some farm animals, and picked out a pumpkin to carve. The first thing we did when we got home was draw a face on the pumpkin.
On the Sunday before Halloween, we set out to carve the pumpkin. I used my trusty drywall saw to do the carving and Kaylee helped scoop out all of the pumpkin-guts.
For Kaylee's first Trick-or-treating, she dressed up as a furry black cat. It was a good thing her fur was so thick because it was only about 40 degrees out on Halloween night.
We made it to nearly every house on our block. It took us about 45 minutes. Kaylee's trick-or-treat pumpkin was nearly full. Then we came home and finished out the evening handing out candy to all the other kids in the neighborhood.
