Pumpkin Traditions With Grandma Kelly


Some of the kids' fondest Halloween memories have been made with Grandma Kelly.

Every fall, she pours so much love, energy, and excitement into her Halloween traditions. Whether it's pumpkin hunting, painting pumpkins, or making festive Halloween crafts, she always knows how to make the day feel special.

More than the pumpkins or the crafts themselves, it's the time spent together that matters most. Somehow, Grandma has a way of bringing everyone together and creating memories the children will carry with them long after the pumpkins are gone.

At what point did painting pumpkins become such a cute Halloween tradition? I don't know... but I'm certainly glad it did!

Thank you, Grandma Kelly, for making Halloween such a magical time for your grandchildren. These are the moments they'll remember for years to come.


This year's "Boo Crew" had a wonderful time showing off their masterpieces.

Britley proudly posed with her perfectly plump pumpkin.

Wesley carefully transformed his into a painted pumpkin face worthy of display.

Nathan created a one-eyed pumpkin that had plenty of personality.

And Breeley was especially excited because Grandma allowed her best friend, Abbey, to join the fun too.

JUST ME AND THE GIRLS

The boys (Wes and Dawson) are off to scout camp.  Mr. B.T.C and Nathan just left on a hunting trip to Utah.  That leaves me and the girls home alone.  Get ready to shop until you drop girls! This is gonna be a fun week! Late night movies, pizza, chocolate cake and popcorn.  Afternoon and late night swimming.  Shopping bags galore. New shades of lipstick.  Yep, that pretty much sums up the week.  Now hide the Nordi bags girls Mr. B.T.C is coming home:)

CALI TRIP

Craig Family Vacation Fall 2014 from Lorri Craig on Vimeo . The kids wanted to head to Cali over Fall Break. I had a few other ideas in mind, but the boys had their hearts set on taking their dirt bikes along and trying out some of the tracks in Southern California.  It turned out to be a good idea because they seriously had the time of their lives. Like Father, Like Son... There is nothing like family trips! We bond, laugh and create memories.  We sure did miss our oldest son Nathan.  He put it best when in a recent letter when he said,  "Well right about now you are probably on vacation. It's a bummer we're not all together, but that's alright! I'm over here bringing souls unto Christ, so I win!"   You can read more about his adventures HERE .
