One can't be expected to host the same amount of enthusiasm for an event or holiday with each passing year. It is only natural, that once in a while, we just want a break. That is how I felt this year. I didn't have it in me. I felt badly about my indifference to what was meant to be my most sought after time of the year, and I would have been disappointed in myself if I would have let the entire holiday pass without paying it notice. Luckily for me, there is someone who prevented that from happening.
For the past decade, it has been a tradition that Wyet and I carve pumpkins. Not long after the tradition begin, it took on a new meaning. Rather than carving for ourselves, we began carving pumpkins for the ultimate Halloween fanatic, Miss Matye. Matye loved Halloween equally {if not more} than I do, and because of her, even though we weren't in our most celebratory moods, we followed through with the most important aspect of this holiday; keeping traditions and memories alive.

| As always, Wyet went above and beyond any ordinary design. This year, rather than carving through the entire pumpkin, he skinned off layers at a time to create this amazing eyeball. |

| Donned with eyelashes and all! |

| Marcel, the eye, the cat {a running joke of this year}, a Day of the Dead Skull and of course an M for Matye. |

| Simple vs Dynamic |

| Happy Halloween Matye! Thanks for always keeping us in check each October. |

| Even though we didn't do much this Halloween season, we did spend a lot of quality time together. Dressed up or not, this guy will always be my favorite person to spend any holiday with. |
