It’s no secret how lucky I feel for the friends that I have. Since we are all back together in CNY, we have tried to make an effort of a once a month get together. Sometimes it’s a birthday dinner, other times its a family BBQ, or an adult only holiday party.  My friend Jodi picked her month of hosting to be October and she really went above and beyond. We usually stick to the pot luck family BBQ. But she decided to show us all up and host a Great Pumpkin Party with everything from handmade signs by her woodworking brother, AMAZING food by her sisters, a pumpkin decorating station, bouncy house, karaoke, and even a movie on hay bails for the big kids later that evening. Our kids had a blast and it will be a party no one will forget.
