Trick or Treat!

What a Halloween we had...lots of costumes, fun, candy, family, and yes, even some slush! This was a first, snow on the ground...but that didn't stop the kiddies from enjoying their day of trick or treating :D & can I just say how grown up everyone seems to be now?! Going from house to house like they're pros now!



In case you were wondering, yes, she's a good witch ;)



Mr. Scorpion...if anyone is familiar with the video game Mortal Kombat anyway...we had to tell Jason that, you're a *ninja*, because otherwise people would think, "what your a scorpion?" lol.







My sweet nephew...is he just darling?!?



A little Ewok :)

Cheers!

Well, it was our 14th wedding anniversary on the 11th, as was my Mom's birthday! So to my surprise John planned a mini adventure for the three of us; to take a day trip to Atlantic City!! Not that many pictures I'm afraid But tons of FUN :D  My mom has lived in Jersey for just about her whole life and have never ventured to the casinos before, so to put it mildly she had a blast!

After several hours playing the penny & nickle slots...my mom had a bit of luck with some of the table games...then we were off to dinner. We ate at Ruth's Chris Steak House. & oh my was it delicious. It was one of those dinners that started with 5 pm reservations & we stayed at the restaurant till about 7:30... cake & coffee & champagne, the whole 9 yards! It was all in all one fabulous day...

Pumpkin Picking!

What a day it was! Hot as can be...definitely the hottest pumpking picking we've ever done! We've made it a tradition, always trying to get together with my 2 sisters...my baby sister I'd say started the tradition & this was her first pumpkin picking whith her own son this year, so what a special time it was :)



What fun....spent  with all of our favorite people :)



Then there was a hayride!



Lots of fun & laughter

Silly boy




& silly girl

 

My favorite nephew of course :)


a horse & even a farmer

All in all a day where I wouldn't have changed a thing, what more could you ask for a day with family, truly a blessed day....even though at the end we were all pretty much covered in hay :)
