We finally carved our pumpkins. I have to admit...it's not my favorite thing to do. I always think I'm going to get super creative and carve some soft of crazy Halloween scene into my pumpkin but then just end up with your standard jack-o-lantern with triangle eyes and a jig-jaggy mouth. This year we hit a cold spell the few days leading up to Halloween...it was so cold I kind of rushed the kids through the whole thing this year. I feel sort of bad about that but hey, I don't think they really noticed...they we're cold too.

| Ryan's playing around here...although if it were a pumpkin made of sugar he probably would eat it. |
We're at my our neighbors, The Woelkers'...great group of kids!
Ryan is a traditionalist...
Dylan went for a "Minecraft" theme...
We went trick-or-treating on base...it's really the best place to go being that German's don't celebrate Halloween. Although, some German kids have caught on so you'll get a few knocks on your door from them, often without a costume, asking for some candy or their American neighbor will take them on base so they can experience "Beggar's Night". They say the base gets some 7,000 trick-or-treaters every year...crazy! The Severt's live on base now so we went to their house early and secured our parking spots.

| Ryan is "Jake the Dog" from "Adventure Time". Dylan was supposed to be "Finn the Human" but changed his mind a couple of days ago and went as a werewolf. |

| Yep, I dressed up...the boys asked me to...It's kind of fun :D |
The rest of Ryan's "Adventure Time" family showed up to trick-or-treat...
All the kids are ready...
The weather held up...it got a little cold but no rain so we were happy about that. Ryan was the first to say "I think I have enough candy...I'm ready to go back now." Dylan ran off to "Trunk-or-Treat" for a little bit but by 7:15 we we're ready to head home.
:D
Everyone looks so cute and happy! Great Halloween!
ReplyDeleteIt's was a great Halloween. You never know what to expect in Germany but the weather really held up.
ReplyDeleteWhat a treat that your family was able to celebrate Halloween in Germany!
ReplyDeleteI was thrilled when I found out there would be trick or treating in our neighborhood in Singapore (since it's mostly filled with Americans). And, it was nice when I saw how the American holiday caught on with a few locals. We saw a few Singaporean kids trick or treating in the neighborhood.
Anyways, hope the rest of your holidays this year are just as fun as your Halloween!
Cheers,
Kristina
