Last year we wrote about "
Keeping the Hallows in Hallowe'en". Here are some photos and a video of our festivities this year. We had a 3-stop "progressive dinner" party with friends - 4 families with 13 kids under 7. Each stop had a game related to Hallowe'en (the real honoring the saints and mocking evil, not the nihilistic secularized fright-fest version) and candy for the kids.
