2007 Halloween

Lydia's second Halloween was a smash! The event kicked off with a trip to the Pumpkin Farm, where she covered the whole yard full of pumpkins thoroughly to pick out the 4 best pumpkins available. What a great time. Pop-pop, Nana Kay, Auntie Pam, Momma and Daddy all had a great time as Lydia rummaged through the pumpkin piles, and admired the very best in pumplin sculptures.

Next off to the Cider Mill for cider and donuts. And Yes Lydia was allowed her very first donut! She tended to like it a quite a lot (see photos for reaction). During the trip to the Cider Mill, Lydia also discovered the fun of a cell phone while playing with Auntie Pam!

One week later, Lydia carved her first pumpkin. Ahhh what more of a mess would any parent allow their children to make...willingly? A great effort on Lydia's part. She dug all the gunk out, and pretty much threw it everywhere! The result a fantastic pumpkin seen in the photo album.

Then the dry run of the 2007 Halloween costume. A SMASH in Lydia's eyes. The brightest red lobster one could imagine...an excellent choice by momma. Lydia's first attempt at the costume resulted in tons of laughter for everyone...especially Lydia! Good times for all. She ran around the house screeching like something out of a Japanese Monster Flick. Sounds of Godzilla flooded the house, along with good, strong belly laughs.

Trick or treating consisted of vistis to Grammy Sue and Popa-John's house, Great Gramma's home, Her Aunt Barb and Uncle Jim's home, Teresa and Bill, and of course Auntie Pam and Uncle Jacks house. Then off to Gramma and Grampa's house for an overnight stay.

Once again, this Halloween was a smash with Lydia, and she isn't ready to retire the red lobster outfit just yet!
