We were busy in the weeks leading up to Halloween, trying to get all of our favorite things done. This year we made these mini-pinatas, packaged them up and sent them to friends and family. Dalanie loved helping me, so I can imagine them becoming a part of our celebration every year.
Since I reserve making sugar cookies for only special occasions, we baked up a double batch. There were plenty for frosting, sprinkling, licking, and sharing.
We sold several of our own smaller pumpkins, so I told the kids we'd go down to the local patch and they could pick their own. This whole idea of picking your own was so much more fun than being stuck with what grew in our garden. It was a muddy mess, but we came home with some whoppers.
The other Hillman kids spent the weekend before Halloween with us. That meant we all got to go to the school carnival together, decorate pumpkins for the pumpkin walk, take a walk to Uncle Brent in the corn field, and enjoy the pumpkin walk together.

I loved our pinatas. They were so cute. (But that didn't stop pregnant woman sugar cravings from busting them open.)
Fun to have a coat-free Halloween for once. We definitely had to bundle up!
