Since Patrick and I have been married, we have tried to start up a couple of traditions. The last couple of years we have made dinner in a pumpkin and then dipped caramel apples. This last Friday, we decided to have the the Staley's, Hughes and Whitmers over for our tradition. I forgot to take a picture of the dinner in a pumpkin, but it was really good. I got the recipe from this website, http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Teris-Dinner-in-a-Pumpkin/Detail.aspx
Here is a picture of the ending pumpkin.
Then came the famous caramel apples. I also got this recipe from http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Gourmet-Caramel-Apples/Detail.aspx
First you unwrap all of the caramels.
Then you dip 'em in the yummy caramel.
Here is a picture of Patrick's perfection in caramel dipping.
His secret...the freezer!
Then to the fridge for some settling. While they were in the fridge, we started watching Monster House. This is a cute animated Halloween movie, I would recommend. After the caramel the best part comes....CHOCOLATE! I used the blue symphony bars, 'cause they are my favorite. This part is a little messy...
...and took some talent
Here are the finished products.
Patrick and me
Bob and Haley
Jason and Niki
Justin and Brittany
From the previous post you can see that Patrick was little messy while eating his apple, he decided he couldn't be the only one, so after a whopping kiss, here is what I looked like.
We had such a great time. Thanks everyone for coming over.

That sounds like a great tradition, a yummy one too. Everything looks delicious. When I cook, I always have to make at least some kind of mess.
Awesome traditions. I love it.
