When our babies looked like this:
Jenny, Bobby, Andy & I started a tradition of getting together for trick-or-treat (don’t worry, for a few years we just dressed up the kids and hung out on our porch. We totally weren’t using them to get candy). We’ve continued it every year, and now those tiny babies look like this:
Over the years, we’ve added a few more kids into the mix.
Next year, we’ll have one more!
It’s one of my favorite nights of the year.
I love going back and looking at all the costumes the kids have worn and how much they’ve grown. If you’ve been on Facebook in the last few days, you know I am not alone in taking tons of Halloween pictures – I think all of their 10 zillion users uploaded Halloween pictures this week!
Like I said, I love the Halloween pictures… but I am horrible about getting prints made. Horrible! It’s easily been a year since I have actually had a “hard copy” of pictures of my kids. I always mean to do it, I just never get around to it. Fortunately a couple weeks ago I got an email from the people at Kodak Gallery asking if I’d like to make a Halloween-themed photo book. Needless to say, I was excited!
Making my book was easy – Kodak Gallery’s SMARTFIT technology put my pictures in place automatically, and also gave me the option to move them around. I chose a Halloween cover and background for my pictures, and it turned out very cute! I also added text and borders to make it even more personalized.

I am bad about remembering to have pictures printed as well:)
I’d be in so much debt if I printed everything… but I should start printing just a bit more.
I use Kodak Gallery to share photos with our friends and family! Love their stuff!
