Halloween 2008

Halloween was a big event in our house this year. We went to two different parties, hosted one here at home on the 31st and then Dani celebrated at school. I love halloween, but I was very happy to put away all the halloween decorations on the 1 November. The pumpkin bread I made from the jack o laterns was very tasty too.

First Party....Trick or treating

Here are the photos from the first round of trick or treating. We went to Humera, which is a city northwest of Madrid. It was just like trick or treating in the states. The police even blocked off the streets for us. We had to give 60 pieces of candy per kid beforehand and the organizes gave the candy to the people who wanted to give out candy. Then we went trick or treating to the houses that had balloons (or were decorated), Notice the cool wonderwomen outfit the first photo.

We went with Annie the devil, Eva the Angel, the twins in their poodle skirts, Oscar the firefighter and Dani, winnie the pooh. We had a great time!!

31 October

At our house with Pirate Oscar, princess Olivia, scary Carlos and cowboy william. Dani refused to get in the photo with Carlos. Our nieghbors get into the spirit and we have trick or treaters come around our neighborhood. For a second year in a row, our friends who live in Madrid (she is from Bellevue and he is Spanish) brough their kids out to go trick or treating. I think the kids had the more fun giving out the candy than going trick or treating.....

Last Party

The last party was on the 1 November. We went to our Northern Star´s playgroup´s Halloween Party. It was great because I could unload all the candy that the kids had collected the night before and all the candy I had left over. Dani loved the guacamole and the playdoh was a hit.
