Family Fun For Everyone- Trick Or Treating With My Family…
I’ve loved Halloween as far back as I can remember because it was the one “holiday” that my entire family got excited about by dressing up and making plans to take large groups of my cousins and friends of our family to various events. Unlike Christmas, Thanksgiving & other holidays- there was never conflict at Halloween because it was always a “family friendly” day and fun for everyone.
This year, our mini me twins Maryssa & Makenna Mahaney decided to wear different outfits. It’s a first for them so Cindy and I “rolled” with their choices. Getting the twins to decide on a costume starts in September every year and my sister loves helping them find something they both like but this year- my husband Matthew took the twins “costume shopping.”
My son and his wife, Robert & Stephanie Hafele went “all out” two years ago by dressing up as Beauty and The Beast.
Over the years our Little Pawners have had some pretty fun costumes and this year, our Latest Pawner, Madyson Elizabeth Blais is one of the “cutest kitties” we’ve ever seen.
Cindy and I check FB and Instagram everyday for the latest Madyson photos and miss the Blais Family but look forward to visiting in November.
From pirates to foxes and everything in between, Maryssa and Makenna love trick or treating and although the fear of running into a clown has caused anxiety- I’m bringing a flashlight and keeping an eye out for spooky clowns.
As I finish answering emails and talking to a bride regarding her wedding on November 16 at Belltower Chapel & Garden, I realize that living close to most of my family and having the opportunity to share family events with them is a gift. Knowing that my niece Leigh Ann and her family will be trick or treating in California and not joining us this year, will be hard for my sister and I.


Although the Blais Family may be far away–we can’t wait to visit and love our family conference calls with Leigh Ann and FaceTime visits with baby Maddy.
I’m often asked if Cindy and I are together “all the time?” We are, we see each other everyday and my son lives a block away. On top of that- we call each other numerous times a day when we aren’t together which may seem “too close” to some but is quite normal for our family.
We cherish having a close knit family and the ability to share our lives while giving the gift of a Dream Event to our clients.
