So Many Things Change, Yet Still Remain The Same

From 2010...

Makayla was a 2 year old pumpkin.

Mason was a one month old frankenstein.

We were joined by Alice and the Mad Hatter.

...to 2011

Makayla was a 3 year old kitty cat.

Mason was a 1 year old tiger.

We were joined by a pretty fairy and Peter Pan.

So many things change...

time.

seasons.

jobs.

family.

friends.

circumstances and situations.

life.

...Yet still remain the same

the joy.

the happiness.

the traditions.

the people

the love.

the things you know that will always be here with you and for you, no matter how many changes there are in this life.

so many things have changed over this past year. 

yet, despite all the changes, this halloween was just like last halloween.

we met up with cousins at grandma and grandpas house. 

the kids greeted each other with open arms, laughter, and squeals.

we held hands and marched the streets.

ran through the yards.

rang door-bells and filled our candy bags.

we hollered out 'trick or treat'!

we sat in grandma's living room and dumped the candy bags.

laughed and played some more.

it's a tradition.

and no matter what happens in the following year, we know that next halloween will be just like this past halloween.

no matter the changes we go through, we know that our love remains the same.

we can look forward to joy and happiness with each other.

and it's not just halloween - it's everything else in our life.

no matter what happens, our love remains the same.
