Halloween over here is a bit different, since it is mainly an American tradition. I'm not sure most Chinese even know what it is. But the American families over here decided to make it fun anyways and there was a huge party in our housing complex, complete with carnival games like fishing for candy and picking the duck with the star on it. Later that night friends had set up a trick or treating route, and we checked out a few of the apartments (I had a fever and wasn't up to more than a couple homes, plus I really just wanted to show off my cute baby!)
Lizbeth's costume has a story behind it. Right now we are in the midst of a baby boom here in Qingdao, with four of the expat families in our company giving birth to babies in the year of the Tiger. Lizbeth was the first, and the last was born at the end of September. Well, one of our friends found Tiger outfits and gave them to all of us at my baby shower. Immediately, I thought, Halloween! What's better than orange and black? So I added black tights and a black onesie, making it season appropriate, and tada! So cute, right?
Unfortunately, it seemed a little lacking without a hat, but I still think it's great.

Mimi says Lizbeth is cuter than both of us, I have to say I agree :-)
