Daniel in the Lions' Den

Aren't they adorable? Peter and Andrew are twins at our church. Since their older brother's name is Daniel, it only made sense to have Daniel and the Lion's Den for Halloween.

Mom, here's the cutie pie whose picture is on my refrigerator.

Can you believe she's one????

Tilden Children

Adam, the baseball player

Selah, the hula girl

Kira, the ballerina
Lesa, an angel

This is one of the first years the kids have actually gone trick or treating.

Typically we go to a harvest party at church, but this year we handed out goodies at our house and had food available to anyone who stopped by. Mike and a friend from church took the kids out to our neighborhood. About 45 minutes later, I received a call from Mike saying Kira and Adam's feet hurt and they're pretty far from home. So, I went and picked up the whole group.

Never too old...

... for a bubble bath!

Pumpkin Patch

Each year we go to a pumpkin patch with Grandma. This year we went down the street from their house to Kerry's Pumpkin Patch. There's a play area for the kids, a small corn maze, and a few animals to see.




When you're done with all that, you hop on a tractor-drawn wagon to go to the pumpkin patch, where the pumpkins have mysteriously all fallen off the vine. In fact, there were no vines when we went through, just lots of pumpkins sitting in neat little rows in a field.


When we bring the pumpkins home, each year Mike has a comment about rotting pumpkins. (He's never let me live down the couple of years where December arrived and we still had pumpkins sitting on our porch.) Good times!
