Trunk or Treat

This year, for Halloween, our church organized a trunk or treat, which was nice, since Halloween fell on a Sunday this year. The trunk or treat took place on Saturday night.

Amelia dressed up as the cutest kitten I've ever seen, she helped to pick her costume this year, and funnily enough, this was the one outfit she didn't want to try on, but when she did, she decided it was her favourite of the four she tried.

Now I'm not sure what to label the photo below, Beauty and the Beast perhaps? Daddy dressed up as a "red-neck", oh my, did he enjoy being in character? Yep, it almost came too naturally!

There were fun games for the children to play, like fishing...

...and trying to eat a doughnut hanging on a sting, without using your hands.

Now how about this for this year's Christmas card. (unfortunately, we ran out of time and I was unable to dress up - such a shame!!!)

Amelia saw her friends, who all looked so cute, here she is with Addison.

For my English family and friends out there, a trunk or treat is where everybody decorates the boot (or trunk) of their car and the children go to each car to collect candy, instead of going to houses, hence the name 'trunk' or treat. Here's Matthew giving out candy from our car.

After collecting all of her candy (which was a lot), Amelia helped to give out the candy, in fact she pretty much took over.

A friend joined her for a few minutes.

It was nice to see that she enjoyed giving as much as receiving.

Here she is checking out her 'loot'.

It was truly a fun event, spent with friends from church.

Although we didn't go out on the actual Halloween night, Amelia had a great time seeing other children who came to our door dressed up. Just like at the trunk or treat, she enjoyed sharing our candy with others.

Happy belated Halloween everyone!
