Trick or Treat !!!

"Knock knock trick or treat who are you??

Iam a little fairy-  Tinker Bell fairy"!!

This has been a song on Anvesha's mind ever since we got her the Halloween dress. Last tim we dressed her up as a watermelon while she was still 9 months old and did not know what was going on around her. Last year she missed Halloween as we were in India. So this year I gave her two options to choose from, she could either be a lady bug or Tinker Bell and she chose to be a Tinker Bell. I guess this may be because Tinker Bell was the first character she was exposed to when she was one year old and she would love to flip through the pages of her book and got very excited on seeing Tinker Bell :) 

So here's presenting to you, our Tinker Bell ...

Trick or treating has been a popular tradition in US on Halloween. Rain or shine, there are plenty of safe trick or treating events that go on... and costumed kiddos along with their cavity conscious parents come to have fun. On an average Americans spend around $2 billion on candies just on Halloween. Phew!!! my molars are hurting just looking at the numbers !!! As much as I try to keep Anvesha away from candies, she makes up for that on Halloween.... lol !!!! But this post is not about effects of candies on children, I'd rather save that for another time, Its about Anvesha's Halloween fun !!

We started the celebrations a day prior to Halloween where she was supposed to come dressed up in her costume to her day care and later that day I took her to Sammamish City Hall which was especially great for younger kids. There were spiders, ghosts, pumpkins, skeletons, a lot of goodies and ofcourse candies !!! Later we went to Microsoft Commons. The place was flooded with kids in costumes.... from princesses to fairies, bugs to animals, witches to ghosts and superheroes, you could see kids all dressed up with their costumes.

Anvesha was more than thrilled to collect candies in her basket which was getting heavier and was jumping with joy as we allowed her to eat the candies. It's Halloween and she can have her share of fun too !!! Next day, which is the day of Halloween, we went to Redmond Town Center where many merchants participated in the trick or treat event. There few other friends who accompanied us as well and we had a ball of a time.

Here are the pics...

Just when you though the Halloween fun was over, we had kids from the community dropping by at our house for trick or treat and later at dusk we took Anvesha too for a quick round across the community. She most certainly enjoyed the whole 2 days and didn't want to take off her Tinker Bell dress.... she absolutely loved it and we enjoyed with her as well !!!

Happy Happy Halloween........!!!!
