Getting into the Spirit!

It’s no secret, Brian’s favorite holiday is Halloween. Naturally, he was extremely excited to take Colin on his first trip to Spirit Halloween store. Aside from what we call “the rat incident”, Colin was completely unphased by the experience, in a good way. So, there’s hope for him yet! Happy Halloween to one and all!

Happy Halloween!

Being Brian’s favorite holiday, we had to celebrate Halloween – especially since the UAE doesn’t really acknowledge the day. Colin turned an ominous 13 days old on the 31st – very fitting.

So while all the technology and infrastructure are in place to give us access, a ridiculous…

Halloween in Fabu Dhabi?

I had absolutely zero expectations for finding anything related to Halloween in Abu Dhabi, so imagine my surprise when I found almost 2 aisles of Halloween decorations and supplies in a nearby party store.
