Halloween 2011

The Grandparents came over to our house on Halloween to be able to share the experience of watching the kids trick or treat. It was a beautiful evening so the kids got to stay out a long time which in turn led to way too much candy.

Kamryn, Ethan and Brooke helped Grandma Julie fill up the pumpkin leaf bags

We met up with the next door neighbors and enjoyed their company while our kids trick or treated with each other

Bean Pumpkin Carving! 2011

We all got together for our annual "Bean Family Pumpkin Carving" this year. I always enjoy this tradition and it is another good reason to get the big family together. It was fun to see the different pumpkins that were carved. I have to say though, we sure missed my niece Alexa who has gone off to college. She was not able to join us this year and she always enjoys the carving.
