Halloween is right around the Corner and now that Charlie is older he has outgrown Trick or Treating and dressing up but I still like to get Gifts for Charlie so he doesn’t feel left out. As I looked online I begin to make a Halloween Wish List 2021 for my family. I put the list together I thought you might want to check out some of the Gifts I picked out not only for Charlie but David and myself as well as our friends and family.
