Decorating the house and then staying home, dressing in a costume and giving out candy to trick or treaters. I love getting dressed in a costume because it makes me really feel the holiday the way we did as kids.

A Little silly, but pumpkin bread with cream cheese for breakfast that morning, and a big pot of yummy homehade chili topped with cheese, cour cream and fritos to warm us up for our big night out trick or treating with the kids.

Our fave tradition is handing out the candy to the trick or treaters. Even though it gets costly, we always buy “the good stuff,” the brands and types we loved getting when we were little.
It is fun to see all the cute outfits and meet people and watch the kids faces light up at the treats.

We are out trick or treating but this year my daughter decided she wants to stay home and hand out candy (she’s 12 now)… so not sure if she has plans to dress up and scare the kids or not 🙂
We do not have any Halloween traditions. We just take the children out trick or treating and hand out candy bars at home.
Carving the pumpkins is my favorite. I look forward to it every year.

I love to decorate my house for Halloween. I carve multiple (about 15) pumpkins and fully decorate the front of my house. The thing is, I do it all on Halloween day so the trick-or-treaters will be totally surprised.
WE have a little party for the kids then go trick or treating.
Well, I haven’t really done much in the last few years for Halloween since w/work I am usually working. But as a child we would get all dressed up in our costumes for school and have a parade around the playground area. Then, that night as a family we would have dinner (usually something fast since we just wanted to go trick or treating) and would trick or treat all the way to the carnival at the church we went to. Then we would trick or treat back.
Take our big teen kids for a ghoul ride where we go tell spookie stories
We have a big haunted yard at our friends house every year. I love making up a new scary costume year after year.
Making caramel apples
We take pictures of the kids and give copies to the parents.
We do the whole yard for Halloween, lit torches, a graveyard, coffins, a table FULL of the best goodies I can make. We invite friends over, dress them us, and then my daughter has a party. It is so much fun because the girls love to be scared and the older ones love doing the scaring. Then we have a fire and tell scary stories and then it is scary movie time. Next day my daughter gets the cleanup. LOL
We trick or treat in our neighborhood. aewalls425@hotmail.com
We take the kids out trick or treating and of course always decorate the house!

Definitely my aunt’s big halloween party she throws every year. It’s fun for the kids and the adults!
We always dress our little dogs in Halloween costumes and let them “help” us hand out candy. They are ALWAYS a big hit!! Even the shyest little kids will talk to them. 🙂
My favorite is to give out candy. At my old place since it was a popular neighborhood, trick or treating would go on all night. Now, it is not nearly as fun. I miss those days and all of the kids’ costumes.
Decorating the front yard with lights, pumpkins & scarecrows (we have a courtyard entrance, so these things make it much more welcoming to trick-or-treaters.
Decorating our pillow cases! We always got new ones right before Halloween and decorated our old ones for Halloween!

After trick or treat, all my little monsters sit around a halloween movie ( nothing too scary) and drink hot cocoa. This gives Mom a chance to check over the candy!
