Growing up in rural northern Minnesota, my Halloween consisted of my mom driving us up and down Cedar Island Drive with a winter jacket over my costume. The infamous 1991 snowstorm left us without electricity for several days and we ended up shacked up at the Eveleth Holiday Inn. So the fact that my daughter can trick or treat in short sleeves and has plenty of neighborhood kids to wander the streets with will never get old.
For the past three years, we've been lucky enough to score an invitation next door where my lovely neighbor, the hostess with the mostess, puts on an awesome pre-game spread.
Then it's off to the races. Little Miss J may have had her best Halloween ever. She raced up and down the sidewalk yelling, "Trick or treat, smell my feet," and was so happy to be hanging out with the older girls. A big thank you to Emma and Karly for being so patient with her.
Of course the adults don't let the kids have all the fun. There was plenty of wine to fuel that walk through the neighborhood. My little man of steel kept it safe in the wagon.
Little Miss J picked the theme for this year's costumes. Photo credit to Julie Bishop.
After Little Miss J filled two bags of candy, she requested that we return home to "finish the party at Peter and Julie's."
Thank you to the Bishop family and East Sac for another fantastic Halloween!
