Every Halloween our estate has an organised evening where the children get dressed up and knock on the doors of our neighbours to collect some treats. My friend Nicole, her hubby and son, Matthew, came across from their estate to join us for some trick or treating as well as an early evening braai.
Matthew was dressed up as a precious little pirate and Lily as a fairy - she donned the cutest pink fairy wings, a tiara in her hair, a fairy skirt and a matching wand in hand. See picture below:
It was too precious! Lily is quite the shy little child and is very quiet when meeting new people so it was with the sweetest, shy little voice that she would say "trick or treat" when being met by some new people at yet another new door. She would confidently help herself to sweets when offered and happily place them into her little collection bag. Needless to say by the end of the evening she had a bag filled with chips, suckers, chocolates, toffees and fizzers. Thankfully she was content to only eat one marshmellow and didn't insist on over indulging!
Next year we plan on doing much more for the occassion - dressing the exterior of the house with Halloween paraphernalia, inviting a few friends around so a bigger group can go trick or treating together, organising a braai, etc. It was such a lovely evening out that it deserves to be celebrated, particularly with the kids being a year older and understanding the concept that much more. Can't wait!
Very Cute!!!!
