The American Women's Auxiliary is an organization of American women in Australia that raises money for the Royal Children's Hospital. They also put on a big Halloween party with Trick or Trunking. Since Trick or Treating isn't done alot here this was a perfect alternative.This was both Matt's and our neighbor, Tara's first Halloween celebration so it was pretty exciting. Bosley ev
en got dressed up as a bumble bee for the occasion. Tara was especially happy because she also volunteers at the Royal Children's Hospital. I sort of forgot to mention that this was after all a charity event. I was a little too into the decorating.
