We also went to Carlsbad downtown today. We met up with mom, dad, Kristen, & her family. There were lots of activities going on & some merchants were handing out candy. The kids dressed up minus Gavin (could it be he's finally growing up & totally too cool for Halloween?) My guess is a no cause he still wanted the candy. After that we went back to mom's for yummy potato cheese soup & homemade rolls & of course dessert. Has it ever been known to be at mom's house for dinner & not have dessert?! It has been a fun filled day had by all! I'm tired & headed for bed. Night All!!!!
