We found our family holiday.  I was surprised that "our" holiday has become Halloween.  Being from a fairly conservative Christian upbringing this did surprise me but it is my favorite.  We plan over the course of many days what we will dress up as. (Usually the whole family goes as one theme but not this year). Today the boys walked the streets collecting candy from house to house with Dad. You hung back and we drank warm Apple Cider and ate fresh sugar cookies. Last night, I tried to pretend I am not sick.
