Trick or Treating

On Friday we went trick or treating with our friends Ariana and Stephanie. Every year businesses open up their shops to trick or treaters, hand out candies or give them treats from their bakery. Police and volunteers come to make sure that the streets are safe for the hundreds of children that show up in the late afternoon. It was Sasha's first trick or treating experience and she loved it! We were a bit worried that because most of the little girls were wearing beautiful, dressy, princess outfits, Sasha would change her mind about wanting to wear her big, fat, grey, mouse costume! But thankfully this was not the case. She loved it.

She even had a run-in with another mouse... something about how there was only room for one...












We were also waiting for Sasha's friend Mariel to join us. However, she had a doctor's appointment and showed up late, after we had gone home. But since Mariel had been anxiously waiting all day to go trick or treating with Sasha, we didn't want to let her down. Sasha put her costume on and we went back. We went out for dinner afterwards with Mariel's mom, Karina, and her mom, doña Guadalupe, who's visiting from Puebla, Mexico. Karina and her family are returning to Mexico next week, so we hope to visit them this week again.
