halloween backwards

so halloween is not done in this country. since this is a household full of american kids, naturally they attempted trick or treating of some kind anyway. so shea dressed up like this...


which was too cute for words. since the trick or treating thing was not really going to work out, given that people didn't buy candy or anything to pass out, we went to the store and bought candy to pass out to people on the street...

this little girl dressed as a princess being pushed in a stroller through the streets of amsterdam telling people happy halloween and giving them candy for free... it seriously made people's night. it was the cutest thing.... these people would be so confused. but after accepting the candy, they would get these big stupid smiles on their faces and say things like "how cute is she?" or "isn't that sweet?". we actually got a "what the f***?"... soooo funny, and so great to see people responding in such a great way to the reverse american holiday. i am thinking we should do the same thing with thanksgiving, but walking the streets passing out turkey is a bit odd... not to mention messy.

hope you had a fun halloween ;)
