Halloween in DK

We are so pleased to say that Halloween was a super success! I was a bit nervous, and crossing fingers and toes that the evening would live up to the kids' expecations and fortunately...it worked! Kelli and Mads had our family over for a Halloween party and as you can see they went all out! We played Ghost bingo, decorated cupcakes and drank yummy hot cocoa with monster teeth marshmallows! Kelli would call out a number in danish and the kids filled in the correct spot with Halloween themed markers. It was good fun!

Here the kids are selecting prizes out of the prize bin for getting a GHOST bingo!

Before we went to Kelli and Mads' home we went to a local church that had pumkin carving as well as a church tour. We climbed a million steps to the bell tower, only to go down again quickly when we discovered that the bells would be ringing within minutes...

Our first trick or treat guests! All along we had planned on trick or treating in our neighborhood, but we never expected that we wouldn't be the only group! It was great! I can only imagine next year!

Bailey, Philip, Max and Sophie aka,

The pirate/sorceress, The grim reaper, Gangsta man, and the Spanish dancer with Vampire teeth.

Soph wanted her own pic taken with her new jumprope. She had just bought it herself with her allowance!

The finished products! I really think that they turned out well!

Max was happy to watch while I scooped all of the goo out! ´He wanted nothing to do with that!

Philip went to town and began carving his first Halloween Jack -o-Lantern.

The trip to get our pumkins was so close to a typical Michigan October day that I had to capture it! The bike path was scattered with leaves, and the leaves that were still clinging to their branches were multi-colored.

The winners!
