My favorite time of year

Well it's fall and we are entering the holiday season. For me that begins with Halloween. This year I was the Grim Reaper, I was the Reaper about 4 years ago but I couldn't decide what I wanted to be so I figured the reaper would be easy. I was invited to so many Halloween parties this year but decided to only attend one of them since I didn't want to wear face make-up for too long. I went to a party that one of Monica's friends gave, Monica was the OctoMom or as I referred to her Octo-MON. Her costume was awesome. The pic of the two of us at the party is below.






The kids and I carved pumpkins and Loren didn't try to bounce the pumpkins this year so the carving was a success as well.


















I had a party on Halloween night for the kids. It was a success!!! Everyone had fun. It was wierd because this was the first Halloween without Jasmyne. She enjoyed her first Halloween at college and experienced a true Bourbon Street Halloween. Madison experienced her first Halloween and I think she was really excited. This was the largest group of people she'd been around since she came home from the hospital. She got to meet her little "big" cousin Brandy for the first time as well. Pics of the kids are below.
























Now we are heading toward Thanksgiving and I can't wait to get to New Orleans to see the fam. Then we're headed on to Christmas and that'll wrap up the year. 2009 went by in a flash and I'm already looking forward to 2010.
