Halloween???

I believe I mentioned 2 years ago (we didn't celebrate Halloween last year. We had been in our new house for less than a week, and I was 7 months pregnant and didn't have the energy) the difficulties encountered in celebrating Halloween in a country where people aren't expecting random children to ring their doorbells and ask for candy. But, in my attempt to raise my children as good Americans, here we are ready to go out on our trick-or-treating expedition. And, yes, Alina is dressed up as a princess. Again. The girls pose with their loot:

The jack-o-lantern. Alina did the general design, I actually did the carving.
