First Halloween celebration

Cute costumes, trick or treating, yummy chocolates, and decorating our home what not to enjoy about Halloween with kids! So I wanted to celebrate Halloween and experience the joy of trick-or-treating with Adi.

We bought two Jack-O-lanterns, one to keep on the balcony and one more to keep at the front of the door. I made a papercraft pumpkin garland by following a YouTube tutorial. I used it to decorate the front door.

We got one candy basket for trick-or-treating. And a lot of candies to hand out to other kids who visited us.

We actually ordered a Bear costume for Adi which did not arrive on time. So I got a little creative and painted our faces. I didn’t plan on painting my face but then I wanted to give Adi company after the last-minute changes.

During our evening walks for the past few days, I noticed many people had kept pumpkins outside their homes. So I thought many people are participating in trick-or-treating. But many pumpkins were gone on the day of Halloween and some houses had posted a notice on the front door ‘Do not ring the bell, No candy‘!

We enjoyed the new experience. Adi enjoyed rolling the candy basket on the floor and even on the streets more than anything! We got a few treats. One family asked if he has got teeth before giving him candy. They wanted to make sure he gets the right candy I think. So sweet of them. 🙂

In the evening we went out to see Halloween decorations in other places and took pictures there. It was a fun-filled day.

How was your Halloween? Did you participate in trick-or-treating? What is your favorite thing about Halloween?
