Owen, Annie, and Olivia had two chances to wear their favorite costumes this Halloween season…on Monday night we had a little house party with our friends the Thomsons. Our collective seven children dressed up, and had to come find the adults hiding in different rooms (we need to be creative with American holidays!). Fun was had by all:

Then, yesterday our neighborhood children’s group had a Halloween party that created an American Halloween trick-or-treating event… we passed out treats to five different neighborhood homes, and in groups the kids went with their moms to collect the goods. It was great to create new special memories for our children with our American friends, and then with our Japanese friends.
