October 31, 2008: Halloween Past

Cheryl, of Cheryl's Garden Goodies fame, had the cutest pictures of her children from Halloweens past, I was wishing I had mine available. Then I remembered having scanned one of them, and sure enough, here is a photo of my three youngest on Halloween 1976!


Amy, on the left, is the mother of our new grandbaby, Alicyn, and fourteen-year-old Alicia. Shannon (center) has four children; Jared, Shayna, Ethan and Sierra. Our youngest son, Scott, is the father of grandson Kevin. Not shown are my two oldest, Rick and John.

They weren't in costume yet, just getting ready to celebrate their brother John's 17th birthday.

  1. I've got tons of pictures of my kids when they were little (and cute and obedient). Now they tell me I take more pictures of my plants than I do of them...and they're right.

  2. That's a great picture and love the decorations. Birthday cake for John?

    Birthday on Halloween...bet that is neat. Everyone celebrates your day by dressing up and eating tons of sweets. Neat, lol.

  3. Yes, Halloween birthdays are cool. Unlike Christmas birthdays when you get one gift for two occasions!

  5. I don't remember halloween in 76, but one of my first memories was the 4th of July from the bicentennial. Not to make you feel old, but I think I'm close to the age of at least one of your children.

    Great pics!

  6. Sinfonian, if you were born between the years of 1957 and 1974, you're probably close to the age of one of mine! I had mine far enough apart to have built in baby sitters.
