Happy Halloween!
What a fantastic fall it's been so far. All of my family made a huge effort to come out for the Halloween weekend and spend it with Alex, Lucas, and myself, and we're SO very glad they did! Lucas was so thrilled to have his cousins here to Trick-or-Treat with. Before the Halloween festivities kicked off though, we headed to my Grandma's house for a little R&R.
She lives on a really beautiful piece of land, and has a few cows and horses that we took Lucas to go feed. He LOVED IT! Even though the wind was blowing like crazy and our ears and fingers were ice cold within minutes, he couldn't wait to hop out of the truck and pet the animals. He explored the land with his Mema (grandma) and his two cousins and then we nestled in for the night, eating an amazing warm meal and sharing lots of laughs with each other. I'm so grateful to have a beautiful place like my Grandma's to take Lucas to and create so many of the same memories with him that I made with my Mom there.
Speaking of Grandma's.....
Lucas adores his Mema :) She would take him outside in to our front yard and roll around in the freshly fallen leaves and he would giggle and laugh as she'd chase him around or as the leaves would tickle his sweet face. So grateful for all of her love and tenderness towards him.
Love you Mom :)
Finally....the big finale to the weekend....Halloween!
Lucas dressed up this year as a brave and extremely cute firefighter! He had a super cute hat to go along with it, but it kept bothering him so we didn't bother too long with it. Alex dressed up as a soccer player and I went as a skeleton. All of my family members dressed up as well & it made for a great evening!
Now...bring on Christmas!
