Halloween 2014

Work has been on overdrive these past months causing absence on my posts.   My workload looks much lighter this week so will attempt to do backlog posts.   I have only posted Day 1 of our HK trip, and that happened last July!  Oh well, life happens.

************************

This was the first year a mall wide Trick or Treat event happened at Penang.  It was held at Straits Quay marina mall.  It was very well organized, hats off to the organizers!  The kids were divided into several groups and ushers led the way to different participating shops.  Everyone was very excited, kids and adults alike :)

Reena dressed up as a cowgirl.  We didn't know if her mom will let her spend Halloween with us so I have to make do with an easy costume for Reena.  A day before Halloween we were still in the mall to get her a hat and a scarf.

Sarah insisted on being Queen Elsa from, of course, the Frozen movie.  I ordered her Elsa dress online one week prior and was getting real anxious over the delivery.  The package arrived 3 days before Halloween so all was well, although I was already thinking of plan B in case the package didn't arrive on time.

Both girls had a great time experiencing their first Trick or Treat.  Got a lot of sweets from the mall shops and ate their candies on the way home.  Reena and Sarah are already excitedly planning next year's costumes!

Great costumes everywhere at Straits Quay mall.  There were dozens of Elsas and Annas!

Trick or Treating around the mall shops, fun!
