Halloween is not nearly as big of a celebration as it is in the US. Nevertheless, the Americans brought Halloween to France. My friend Bene and I miraculously whipped up a party in a week and created many wonderful memories with our friends and family. She lives in a little town outside of Clermont-Ferrand called Aubiere. In Aubiere, there were Halloween festivities in the quaint downtown area complete with a costume contest, music, fire breathers, candy and a dancing on the rooftop skeleton. Our friend's son, John, created some competition for him with his rendition of the moonwalk to Michael Jackson's "Thriller". We all walked and tricked or treat along the way to the downtown party then returned to Bene's for some old fashioned bobbing for apples and other fun games and yummy food. Emily tuckered out upstairs around 8pm but Joshua and Sophia were running around full force until 10:30pm! They crashed before we ever left their driveway around 11. Many thanks to my sweet friend Bene and her husband, Scott, for hosting a fabulous monster bash at her home. Here are some photos, compliments of my dear friend Kim, of our evening...
