I don't know when The W's have ever been so happy. We put a temporary gate across the driveway and we walked them down so they could sit and watch the trick or treaters. They could see up and down the street from this vantage point and they got so excited when they saw people coming. Willie hadn't seen anyone except for us in 3 weeks so he was beside himself over everyone coming by and petting him. He lasted until we ran out of candy. He wishes we could have Halloween all the time.
My daughter and I carved a bunch of JOL's earlier in the day.
We had baskets filled with treat bags to hand out.
My daughter made this gorgeous cake.
It had edible maple leaves sprinkled on top.
We lit the JOL's,

And placed them along the driveway wall.

My Daughter also made my baked brain for the first time and she did a great job. She stuffed the round of brie with pepper, onions and pepperoni and wrapped it in puff pastry then painted it with colored egg yolks.
After it baked, it oozed brain all over the pan! We took care of that with crackers and French bread!
I made a charcuterie tray.
And some pinwheel bites. We had a bunch of other stuff but we were so busy with trick or treaters that we forgot to take pics. We went through over 200 treat bags in a little over an hour. The weather was perfect after it rained all day. The children had wonderful costumes and most of their parents were dressed up as well. It was a perfect Halloween! How was yours?

Perfect night here -- not too warm nor windy so everyone was dressed up and ready to Trick or Treat!!
Still have bags and bags of candy leftover too! Had about 2,000 pieces of candy to start the whole evening!
Next door neighbor made white turkey chili, and I had lots of cold cuts, cheeses, salad, veggies and chips too!
And my usual Bloody Good Cosmopolitans!
Another wonderful Halloween!
cheers!! Jan at Rosemary Cottage
Have a great day!
