Spider Christmas

My favorite holiday of the year is Halloween. I love everything about it. I love the dressing up. I love the neighborhood festivities. I love the decorations. I love it all!

Tonight we decided to decorate the house for Halloween. I know, it's still September, but the month goes by so fast! The kids were so excited and busy getting things out...Max and Benton in particular were over-joyed by this event. With all the innocense and excitement of Christmas, Max kept referring to our decorations as "Spider Christmas!" My feelings exactly. All the fun, half the price.

Welcome to blogspot land! We love Halloween at our house too. My kids are just so happy to have a few different parties to go to so they can choose several different costumes. :) Your jams look delicious, but the rasberry pear would be my favorite.

Love the new blog! I am totally drooling over the homemade raspberry jam too.

Finally! I have wanted to comment for so long and your last spot wouldn't let me. I wanted to tell your daughter how awesome it is that she won the spot playing in front of such a huge crowd for such a cool event!
You have been busy! Your new job is very impressive. Just the thought makes me want to take a nap. I can barely squeeze in house work between all the children & everything else.
We have decorated for Halloween as well. The children woke up to a decorated house and loved it.
As for your homemade jams & jellys...I am so jealous! I wish we were neighbors and you could teach me. I LOVE homemade jam. It's my favorite!
Matt is going to be in Arizona this week. I hope you get to see him. He is hoping to stop by.

Welcome back to Blogspot! Wow, you need to spread the Halloween cheer - we need to hang around you more. We aren't so Halloween festive, but you've inspired us.

I am the same way about Halloween. I have 4 rubbermaids filled with decorations and I love pulling them out. I have been slow on it this year because I feel too pregnant and too yucky still but I am determined to get festive asap!

I'm not even in Phoenix yet and my "Spider Christmas" decorations are out in full force. I've got more coming when I return from "heaven." See you guys soon!
