Every year, Barry and I re-visit the subject of Halloween and whether we want our kids to participate. So far it has been a fun enjoyable “dress up” holiday, but we will just take it one year at a time and decide what we think of it. This year, Bella wanted to be princess Belle and has enjoyed her role quite a bit. Joshy was a little puppy, a very cute one 🙂 This year Bella was a lot more engaged in all that was taking place. Our first exposure to Halloween was at our church, at Trunk or Treat, which is absolutely amazing. The activities and fun games the church puts on are wonderful and innocent. They have a section for lil people like Joshy and Bella and of course for older kids, anything from bounce houses to live band and so on. This year unlike any that I remember it was exceptionally hot so being in huge crowds of people while kids “trick or treat” was not the most exciting thing. Bella loved it, so it was worth getting out 😉 On Halloween we were invited to Nana’s and Papa’s house and boy was that a lot of fun! The way their neighborhood came together was one of the most neat things I have ever seen happen in a neighborhood. So many people and kids were there, I can not even put a number on it. Anything from hot chocolate to soda was served and of course a lot and a lot of candy! Our little trick or treater 😉 has received a lot of candy, which has been sorted and mostly given away again 😉 Of course she got to keep her favorites 😉
