Oh this Samhain was a fun, busy and event filled sabbat.
Friday October 28th was Halloween movie night with my little one and my bff. We got the older kiddos ready with their costumes cause they were headed out for a Halloween party. My oldest daughter was an 80's rocker chick, her best friend was a circus ring leader and my foster son was The Crow.
Saturday October 29th was all for the little one. First we went to Zoo Boo which is an event at our local zoo here where kiddos in costume get in free and they have live bands, treats and games going on and of course you get to see the animals. From there we headed across the street to Old Town which was having a Fall Fest with a ton of things to do for the little ones. My baby girl had a blast.
Sunday October 30th was a day to make pecan pie, sugar skulls, candy apples, popcorn balls, candied pumpkin and a some family pumpkin carving fun.
Of course on Samhain was trick or treating for the kids, made some witches brew for them to drink when they got in from the cold and did my personal ritual late that night.
November 1st we cleaned and rested up but on the 2nd we celebrated Dia de los Muertos. Day of the Dead. We had a silent super here at home but we also grabbed some food and headed out to the graveyard and had a little picnic with my aunts, brother and grandparents. Gave them some roses, candles, sugar skulls and some of their favorite food. We left when it got just too cold to bare and said our goodbyes.
Now to wait till next year. In the meantime I have a sweet 16 birthday party to plan and start getting ready for Thanksgiving and Yule. Whew, what a busy time. Hope everyone out there had an awesome holiday as well.
Love and Light.......
