Halloween Festivities 2011

We didn't make a big deal about Halloween this year.  To be honest, I am completely OVER this "holiday".  But I don't want to deprive my kids of the fun, so we got costumes (one was a free hand-me-down and the other we bought) and went trick-or-treating for 20 minutes.  And they still filled their buckets halfway!  Every year, I let them choose the # of candies as their age and the rest is given away (and eaten by Peter and I).  It just works for our family since we don't let them eat that stuff too often.

This past Friday night, while I was on a plane to CA, the kids went to a costume ball at their school.  There were friends and food and games and fun.  Peter said they had a good time, but took only a few photos.  I hate missing things like this, because I would have made a bigger deal about that and taken some photos of the decor or of them with their friends and classmates, but........ Oh well.

All in all, 2011 was a forgettable year for Halloween.  And I am a-ok with that!  Hope you all had a fun and fantastic time!
