Halloween 2011

Ashley chose to be a "sand-witch" again. She looked "hauntingly" beautiful!

CJ wanted to be Mario again

maybe next year we can talk them into new costumes 

 Stone Family Tradition: riding the hay bale trailer around neighborhoods to collect candy.
(this tradition started back when my siblings and myself were little and there were NO houses nearby to trick-or-treat at so my dad hooked up the hay trailer to a tractor (or truck) and drove us to the closest neighborhood to trick-or-treat to our hearts content. After we were all tuckered out we would climb back on and we would ride home. The trailer also has the added benefit of acting like a "parade float" and people cheer and wave at us -and us at them- and it feels like a party!)  As traditions do, it has gotten bigger and better. We now hook up a generator to the trailer for Halloween lights, smoke machine, and cd player playing "Elvira's haunted hits".

Im ready, lets go!   -CJ

You cant go home before you spread all your candy on the floor and do a "candy swap" with all of the cousins! (what better time to get rid of all those pesky almond joy bars and get butterfingers instead!)
