Trunk or Treat: Continuing Our Halloween Tradition

The last 4 years that we lived in East Lansing, Michigan we held a Trunk or Treat at our home. This year we decided to continue with that tradition and try it out at our new home in Wisconsin. We invited friends from our ward, school, neighborhood, and work then prayed it would be a success.

Although the majority of our friends arrived about a half an hour late which had us afraid that the party would be a bust, we think it turned out to be a success! We had an upwards of 35 children and most parents attend. The weather was relatively mild and people seem to have fun.

One interesting note is that the Phillips family has attended all of our Trunk or Treats except for last year's because they had already moved to Wisconsin.

Quick reminder to us as we plan for the Halloween trunk or treat next year: includ in the invitation that we will have refreshments before the Trunk or Treat and provide some healthy options; schedule the Trunk or Treat a little later in the evening maybe 6:15 or so.
