This was my first Halloween as an empty nester-25 years of Halloween with kids. It wasn't too bad. I had 57 kids come to the door. Double last year. The house I used to live in-when my kids were younger-used to get about 250 kids! I decorated the yard big time and people came with cameras, etc... It was a "destination". My deco is scaled down but still good. At least good enough for two of the kids to not make it up to my door! lol One couple had a toddler and they were all dressed up as pirates. Cute! It was pretty cold here but clear skies so that helps. Right now (9:55pm) it's 33 degrees! I just love decorating and then seeing all the kids!! They're so cute. And it's also fun when the parents dress up.
