It's December already and I'm still looking at Hallowe'en goodies and eating those wee little chocolates. Sigh. Around here, it's incredible the amount of Christmas decorations that people have put up! I just wish they had had the same enthusiasm for Hallowe'en!
Anyway, we had a LOVELY Hallowe'en, even with the COVID restrictions. Everyone was super polite and wore masks, and I handed out candy with my BBQ tongs... this certainly slowed things down a bit as the children marveled at my clumsiness, but that was okay.
We had an absolute blast taking all of October to unpack every box and set up every decoration in and outside the house! Wow, there were forgotten treasures! Here are some of the best pictures of our yard:
It was the perfect night: not too cold, dry and just a bit of wind!
I think everyone's favorite was the skeleton under the tree with his doggy skeleton friends! Three pups enjoyed his company, each one with its own bone to chew on.
Howler and Beelzebub were also enjoying the evening air, and as it grew darker, Beelzebub enjoyed the spotlight!
And then the moon came up and it was magical!
The next night was far more sombre as we set up out alter for the Day of the Dead. Since it was SNOWING we had to change our plans and set up inside, so we used the sunroom.
First we enjoyed some homemade Day of the Dead bread and hot chocolate.
And then we created our best Day of the Dead alter ever!
Hallowe'en certainly is all about creativity!
I hope you enjoyed October as much as we did!
