Ghosts of Halloweens Past

That’s me in the red and white ballet costume, with 3 neighbors and my baby sister, Halloween 1980

So are you ready to see my Ghosts of Halloweens Past? I had fun today pulling out some old Halloween pictures from my own childhood. I was a little shocked that I was only able to find a few of them.

Halloween 1979

I have to say, I loved Halloween as a child, and yet I don’t remember doing anything extremely special during the Halloween season. Except, of course, for my birthday. And dressing up for school and trick or treating in our amazing neighborhood. We had great neighbors, and I remember huge groups of kids running in mass from house to house.

My 7th Birthday (most of my birthdays were Halloween-themed)

My 5th Birthday Party-I still remember that doll that a neighbor sewed for me

And I remember carving pumpkins and roasting the pumpkin seeds, although I have no pictures to enhance the memories. My guess is that we kept things really basic. Just like I do with my own kids today. Basic costumes. Basic pumpkin carving. It’s a tradition that I am proud to carry on with my own kids. :) We don’t have amazing decorations, I don’t sew their costumes. I don’t even buy their costumes new. But Halloween is a happy time.

Good times. Good times.

I don’t suppose it could have anything to do with the candy……
