Halloween With My Friends

I love Halloween. Halloween is fun because I get a lot of candy.

I also like wearing scary costumes. My friends and I wore vampire costumes this year.

My friends and I walked around the neighborhood on Halloween night. We knocked on doors and said “trick-or-treat” and people gave us candy!

We went back home at the end of the night. We emptied our bags onto the floor and sat down. We had so much candy!

My mom put on a funny movie for us to watch. We ate a lot of candy while we watched the movie.

Normally, my mom makes me go to sleep around 9 p.m. On Halloween, I stayed awake until midnight!

We ate a lot of candy and laughed a lot at the movie. Halloween was so much fun. I’m excited for next year! What costume will I wear?
