Halloween

Halloween was a bit different for us here in Kuwait than in the past 3 years in Bangkok. Instead of 1,000 people coming to trick or treat at our house and having it be a whole neighborhood thing - we went to Dan's work and trick or treated and trunk or treated there! We had 2 rockstars and a ninja - although they did get to dress up last Thursday at school and we had 2 rockstars and a Hokie football player because the jersey was easier than a ninja mask :)

We decorated the back of our car as best we could with what we could find here - and set up our trunk to "trunk or treat" :) Dan's work had fun games for the kiddos set up, then they trick or treated there, went through the cars to trunk or treat and then we watched a movie outside on a blanket - Cars 2! So much fun and always so fun to see the kiddos all dressed up!

I took Kylie and her little friend Jordyn around while Dan got the big kids headed off with friends and then he hung out at our car to hand out candy :) Kylie and Jordyn were so sweet and fun - they had fun going together and were so cute waiting for each other after 1 would get candy!
