Halloween with the Pierce Family

We love Halloween! It is the first holiday Allan and I spent together before we were even dating. I remember it like yesterday. My roommate, Erica, Allan, and I had gotten a pumpkin to carve. As we sat around the coffee table (yes, we were carving a pumpkin in the living room), Allan said, "You girls draw the face, and I will handle the carving." To some, that may sound sexist, but to me, I thought "okay... he could have my children some day." And guess what... he did!


That night started a tradition for us. Every year, we carve our pumpkins, eat chili-mac with caramel apples for dessert, and watch Charlie Brown and the Great Pumpkin. This year was no different (except we carved pumpkins a few nights earlier).

Here are some pictures of our Halloween adventures in 2008:

We made ghost cupcakes for A.J.'s class (thank you Nana for the pan), and this is Allan putting on their eyes. It was a team effort...

Here are our finished and carved pumpkins...

Here are some of our friends who joined us for caramel apples and the movie.
