They are worth the effort. Your kids will remember those times and as they get older appreciate them. I feel it is part of being a family and part of a home. At Christmas time I would make gingerbread houses with my kids - and we would snap photos before they got devoured. This past Saturday I carved pumpkins with my daughter and she is 14. She wouldn't let me forget to roast the pumpkin seeds either.<br/> Another tradition we have is to take a family photo in front of the Christmas tree. I've done that for years. My family used to grumble and groan when I started to group them in front of the tree with camera in hand - that is until 1988. That was the year my grandmother died in a car crash. My 1987 Christmas photo was the last photo taken of her. So now my whole family reminds me to remember my camera and tripod when coming for Christmas and requests reprints of the best shot. That yearly photo has become important to everyone.<br/> So I say keep those traditions, invent a few new ones and never believe they are silly or too much work.

Do you usually get alot of kids at your house? In the past, we've had less than a dozen so my excitement has waned somewhat. Great pumpkin carving! Do you usually get alot of kids at your house?

I haven’t carved a pumpkin in several years. We’re a divorced family with shared parenting 50/50, but it seems Halloween always falls on “Daddy’s Days”. The seeds are always delicious, though.

Good to see you ALL had a good time together!

And your pumpkin looks great! I love doing all the tradition stuff, too. Heathen or not, it is still a lot of fun and pretty! The girls (and Joe) look like they had a great time at the library.
