We got together with the Rhoads ladies and Mimi a couple hours to carve pumpkins and decorate cupcakes on Halloween Eve this year. It has been our tradition since the girlies were little to have a little Halloween fun together. Leia and Ivy had been going though our blog books and had been talking about our traditions recently and how we always change houses on where we do pumpkins. This year we are not trick or treating together but we are thankful we got to have a little holiday fun together.
We arrived at the Rhoads before Sara and Katie got out of school so the girls carefully picked out their pumpkin and our eldest cleaned her’s too while we we waited. Before the girls touched the pumpkin guts they opted to decorate the cupcakes Mimi baked. As we watched them decorate the cupcakes and start carving their pumpkins not needing very much help we thought about how much our girls have grown and reminisced how they use to paint the pumpkins because they were too little to carve. Time marches on and now they are all carving their own. Next year we may have to get everyone a pumpkin to carve.
