Since Halloween was on a Thursday this year, and Thursday afternoons are always hectic for me, we broke with tradition and had our Halloween feast at lunch instead of dinner. Nick has Thursday afternoons free, and Chris works from home that day, so everyone was still able to be there and enjoy it.
I bowed out from the Young Women’s activity that night and took the younger kids trick or treating in town. Sarah and Sophie went with their friends after I dropped them off in the town square and then we went to pick up Noah’s friend, Noel to come with us.
I just love that even though we live in this tiny Swiss village, they totally get into Halloween. 
People carve pumpkins, decorate their houses, and some even had special creepy treats for the kids.
The most important thing is that they had fun! Well, the most important thing to me. They may say the amount of loot they got was a bit more important. 🙂
We stayed out for about an hour or so, until the kids got tired of walking around. The bigger girls stayed out longer, and I went back to pick them up when they were finished. It still isn’t exactly like in America, but it’s pretty close. So glad my kids can share in this fun aspect of my childhood even though we live overseas.
