All Saints' Day

I feel like I have to post pictures. I have so many pictures I want to share. Here are some of today. Today is All Saints' Day. We spent this day at my grandparents house and it was a lovely day, but way too warm for the first of november.
All Saints' Day has always been one of my favourite days during the year. One of the first days to wear a warm winter jacket and gloves. A day where you go to the cemetery and light candles for your dead relatives, trying not to slip because of all the wet leaves. A day to ask my parents who all these people were. One of the first days to eat chestnuts. A day full of fog...
Oh, I feel like an old woman talking about her childhood. ;)
Here are some pics. I took all pictures at my grandparents' house (except the last one). Enjoy!
And sorry for the bad quality. It's impossible to take good pictures with my camera when the light is bad :(


I love my grandparents' house, because you can find stuff I made in kindergarten everywhere ;)

A calendar we made for my grandparents years ago. My grandma still use it.
That's me by the way :)

  2. That;s really neat! We celebrate Halloween here. Kids dress up like different things and go door to door and get candy. ;) My family and I don;t do it, however. It's kinda weird and freaky. ;)

  3. Amber: Thanks! That's my favourite too!

    Shaynie: I know Halloween (and don't like it). All Saints' Day is completely different and for catholics it's an important day to celebrate.

  4. Happy all Saint's Day to you too! We celebrate that as well :D And, reformation day. Wait... those aren't the same thing are they? I gotta go ask my parents...

  5. Natalie: No, it's not the same. We do celebrate All Saint's Day, but not reformation day. I'm catholic, so it would be odd if I celebrate reformation day ;)
