Anyone who knows me well knows I love holidays! Although, I do love some holidays more than others, I don't care what the excuse is to have traditions, I enjoy all of them!
So, we spread Halloween out this year...
Monday - For FHE, we picked and carved a pumpkin. We also baked the pumpkin seeds and tried all different seasonings on them! Jared loved the ones I doused in Red Pepper! I liked the ones doused in cinnamon sugar! Haha.
Tuesday - I made my mom's homemade sugar cookies with my cousin Clarissa. Jared helped decorate them with me and we sent most of them off to other places so I wouldn't eat them all! I also got my yearly fix of candy corns and candy pumpkins! I have a love/hate relationship with those things!
Wednesday (Halloween) - We didn't do anything. Lame, I know.
Thursday - Jared and I drove to Thanksgiving point to enjoy an evening at Cornbelly's Corn Maze. It is home to one of the biggest corn mazes in the US each year. Surprisingly, there was a lot more to do there than the corn maze. We played Pumpkin Checkers, Basketball Free Throws, and Corn Hole: a game that the people in Kentucky (where Jared served his mission) played all the time. It was a really fun evening full of lots of laughs and amazing weather! Cornbelly's does rock!
Saturday - We went country swing dancing with some friends. (Country dancing always reminds me of this season.) It was Jared's first time country swing dancing and he picked it up so quickly! It was a blast! I haven't been in a long time and I forgot how much I love it!
And yes, I listened to Christmas music while typing up this Halloween post. But I'm not the only one. Cornbelly's knows how it's done too - look at their Carved Pumpkin Christmas Tree...
The Holiday Season has officially begun!
