Ritchie's Halloween Weekend

We began our Halloween weekend at Grandma Etta and Grandpa Don's home in Ravenden. Ravenden is a place where front porches are a must! It is quite, peaceful, and minutes away from the shopping in Hardy and Cherokee Village. I think three of us gained a total of ten pounds in one weekend with all the cooking and full course meals!

Jerri Lyn, Emmie, Bryton, and Aunt Mary came to visit and play with Caroline. It was nice to see relatives and play catch up...
Saturday afternoon we drove over to Jonesboro to meet with college friends. Caroline and Sutton had a blast sharing snacks with each other. Each time I go back to Jonesboro I realize how I miss my friends and the memories shared. I enjoy seeing how much the town and campus has changed over the past three years.
Saturday night our little girl transformed into a fairy for Halloween. We went to Hardy Methodist Church for my grandparents Trunk-or-Treat and then out to eat at a steakhouse in the Village.

First Halloween Candy Ever!
Sunday morning we awoke to a delicious breakfast and then hit the road headed south. We arrived at the Trunk-or-Treat sponsored by our church at East End Intermediate. There were so many people and trunks that Caroline did not know what to do and where to go first! Our first stop was the tattoo parlor. Caroline chose a pumpkin tattoo for her hand. Daddy told her this would be her one and only tattoo:)
Papaw finally convinced Daddy and Caroline to take part in the cake walk. After a few seconds, Caroline had the line completely backed up and going soooo slow. She wanted to stop and touch each square. After the music stopped, each person had to reverse to find a square. Then a number was drawn...lucky number 14! Daddy and Caroline's number! There were so many choices, but we ended up choosing a pumpkin-coffee cake.
