Halloween Bash

 

It’s hard to narrow down my favorite part of Halloween, because, just like Stella, it’s my favorite holiday.

If you step out on a Halloween night and inhale deeply, you can sense it. There’s just something special about that night.

Another favorite part for me is the trick-or-treaters themselves.
