October 20, 2012. Jackson, Mississippi. Hallowe'en

Tonight we are attending a Halloween party.  I have been surprised to learn that Halloween is the second most popular time to have parties, after New Years.  There are people, adults as well as children, who actually enjoy dressing up in costumes to attend these parties.  For me, tonight I will attend as a grandmother.

The party is really a carving the pumpkin party.  The seven children and six adults will carve either a happy or a scary jack o lantern, which when placed on the porch will make for a wonderful array.   It is such a good idea.  Christina makes a large amount of dips and snacks, set out in the backyard, while the daddies and the children first draw their faces,  then cut them out,   the  young ones needing help with the knives if necessary.  I am hoping the Mothers only cheer.

To finish off the evening, we will be served pumpkin cupcakes, baked and decorated by Christina.  They look scrumptious.   It is a perfect party for kids and adults.   Something to do every moment of the evening.
