Halloween

Halloween! The kids have been looking forward to this night for most of the year. Decked out in costumes that had been purchased months ago, they arranged to meet up with their respective friends and went out to experience their first ever chance to "Trick or Treat"!
John and I walked around our neighbourhood with Nick and his friends, Colin & Adam. The decorated houses and friendliness of the people within, gave the night a real community feel. Of course, we had our own cauldron full of candy to give to the many creepy callers that came knocking on our door. The little kids were the cutest!
When the kids came home and compared their piles of candy, we ate some of the special "Haunted Pumpkin" cake that Emily made and iced. We also enjoyed watching the carved pumpkins (another first for our family) glow in our window. I'm not sure how the kids are going to eat all that candy before it's time to leave Canada but I'm sure they are going to give it a really good go!
