An early Halloween


This year Halloween falls during Ramadan so my friend Margaret had an early Halloween party for the kids and ladies. It was a nice chance to get us all together. Margaret had her whole house decorated. It was really special! Thanks Margaret for a wonderful evening!

Wearing a costume was optional - Margaret was a doctor - but who is that ghost? It must be Charleen!

The kids had all kinds of things to do to keep them busy. Colouring and puzzles.

The pinata was a big hit. I think it took them over half an hour to finally break that thing.

There was a ton of candy for everyone. This is my friend Cathy with her son Amir and his bag of candy.

On the way home we got stuck in the Eid shopping traffic.

It was gridlock on Jaraba Street. It took us an hour to drive about 50 metres. At 2:00am we arrived home at last. Posted by Picasa
