Preparation for Samhain and Halloween

So today was the day before Halloween and the family did many things to prepare for the new year. Jon worked hard to get together his haunted house at work and did a darn good job putting together enough stuff to scare the pants out of people. I threw my annual halloween party for the clients at my job and they seemed to have a good time. All costumes are ready to go and candy for trick or treaters is bought and ready.

So tonight the family, including aunt Jody, got together and did a fun filled night of pumkin carving and festive food. We carved pumkins, listened to a cd called "the night before Samhain", ate chilli cheese dogs, caramel apples and drank hot chocolate.

The kids loved it!!! The pumkins look great and I took lots of pictures that I will upload. Robert carved his first pumkin and although he did not like feeling the inside of the pumkin, he did a good job. And kevin's pumkin looks great!!!

So we are looking forward to tommorrow. We will make an altar honoring our ancesters as well.

Happy new years everyone!! Let go of the past and plan for the future.
Many blessings!!
