Here are the top three reasons why I love Halloween...
1. Costumes. I love dressing up for Halloween. When I was 11 or 12 my mom bought me a cat mask and even though I hate cats, I liked it because it was such an easy costume. So naturally, I was a cat for Halloween that year and the next, and the next, and the next. To make up for my years of lacking creativity I've tried to stop costume repeating.
2. Trick or Treating. The only day of the year that it's socially acceptable
to knock on someone's door and demand candy. Maybe I'm a little to old for that now....
but I'm not to old to run around the neighborhood in a costume right? A couple years ago we ran a Harry Potter 5k and if all goes as planned we are doing one this year too!
Don't worry, we didn't trick or treat. Okay, maybe just at one house.
3. My aunt's annual family Halloween party. Every year she sends out invitations and throws the BEST Halloween party. She decorates her entire house, feeds us lunch and there are always lots of games and yummy treats. I hadn't lived close enough to go until the last few years, but it's now one of my favorite traditions.
Last year...
and this year...
Check out their awesome family costume. The cat in the hat and things 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9.
If there had been a costume contest I'm sure they would have won.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
Such a cute and fun post!
