Halloween

Halloween with Harry Potter, Princess Lexa, and Baby Bat

It was really nice getting to trick or treat around our new neighborhood this year. Lots of houses were decorated with people outside in their driveways or garages handing out candy, and there were kids and families everywhere all along the sidewalks. Sara came along with us, and it was fun! It was such a contrast to last year in our old neighborhood, our first time trick or treating. The streets were dark, as were most of the houses, and we only saw one other group of trick or treaters out that night last year.  This year the kids also got to hand out candy from or own front door for the first time. The candy pile at the end didn't cause the problems that it did last year either. They ate a little that night, we put it away in the garage, and the kids seemingly forgot about it. Last year they were asking for it every day, and it became very annoying. So it was a much better Halloween for our family in every way this year.
