Halloween

I know it's late for these posts, but Halloween feels like it was just yesterday. We went down to Gardnerville. It was so fun! I love going down there. I like it because growing up I've never enjoyed Halloween, but in Gardnerville Halloween is fun and I always look forward to it. We carved pumpkins and watched Halloween movies and handed out candy to trick-or-treaters. In the past it simply has come down to the fact that I hate scary things and Halloween just gives me the chills. But I am truly having a change of heart ever since I married Drew. Drew's favorite holiday is Halloween (next to Christmas) and I'm usually mystified. How is Halloween a favorite holiday?

HOnestly, July 4th has to be on the top of my list, and Christmas, of course. But I guess it all comes down to fond memories. I can't remember a single bad Fourth of July I've had in my life and that's why I love it so much. Perhaps that it how Drew feels about Halloween. In Loveland 4th of July is an all day celebration in the park and fireworks on the lake, but there don't even have fireworks in Reno.:( Provo was a lot of fun around Fourth of July too! Drew and I first held hands at the Thanksgiving Point fireworks, and I loved watching the Stadium of Fire fireworks from the MTC field. Always a good memory. We usually went to Monticello around Fourth of July or around the 24th of July. And what about Fourth of July parades! They are the best. Yeah... Fourth of July that's got to be my favorite holiday by far.

Anyways.... back to the subject. I am liking Halloween significantly more each year that Drew and I are together. He seems to bring out all the good in the holiday and we spent another year down in Gardnerville celebrating by carving pumpkins. Here are some of our pics!
