Personal Notes:
Our kids grew up dressing in costumes for Halloween and then we would drive around to our friends and older relatives and visit. We loved to visit Sis and Dess -- Jeff's Great Aunt Dess and cousin Sis. They were always so excited to see the kids in costume and always had lots of treats for them. These popcorn balls were a Halloween tradition. Sis gave them out instead of candy.

Sis and Dess were a sweet part of my kid's lives growing up. We would visit and sometimes have work parties if we could persuade them to let us help them. (like all Nadeaus they were very stubborn!) And they would always feed us till we were stuffed!
