For Halloween this year the entire family pulled from my mom’s costume closet to dress up as knights, a king, queen, and princesses – complete with Dale the dragon. Grant and Winston got their special outfits in France (amid the HOT weather) so it was extra exciting for them to get to wear their costumes and remember our Summer trip. We also ordered adorable crochet hats for the boys to complete their outfits. Grace also made the trip home from Nashville to help us celebrate and we had the best time trick or treating at Grammy and Pop’s house and around Dale & I’s new neighborhood!
October Memories
October was a month full of celebrations and spooky activities! There were major milestones: we celebrated Granny’s 99th birthday, Sophie’s 30th birthday (at Tailleur!) and Dale’s 34th birthday. Grant and I walked to and from school as much as possible to enjoye all the Halloween decorations around the neighborhood, we made it to the pumpkin patch with the Hanlins, spent time at the zoo, I participated in a nutcracker workshop at work, and we had the BEST time at Indian Hill’s kids Halloween party. On the 30th we once again carved pumpkins at EB & GPa’s house after a spooky themed dinner. Grant picked out a sad pumpkin face this year (which Dale did an amazing job carving) and Sophie and I enjoyed dressing the boys in matching pumpkin shirts. Happy Halloween!
Halloween 2024
Grant’s second Halloween was so much fun! The whole family dressed up as Harry Potter characters, with Grant and Winnie being the stars as Dobby & a mandrake. Aunt Heidi even crocheted Grant’s ears (which he wasn’t a huge fan of wearing). After Trick-or-Treating around our house we headed to Grammy and Pop’s where Grant's favorite activity was moving candy in and out of his bag.
Thinking of You on Halloween
Spooky season is here! Having a toddler at home I’m excited to start decorating and will of course be sending a few cards. Here is a fun Hallmark one featuring my lettering:

Nashville in the Fall
To cap off family weekend we headed to Cheekwood to enjoy the pumpkins – Halloween will be here before we know it. I’m so grateful we had this weekend in Nashville with Grace!
Grant’s First Spooky Season
All the holidays are SO much more fun now that Grant is here! I loved dressing up our tiny dino babe and “trick or treating” at Grammy and Pop’s house. Happy Halloween!
