Halloween Spooktacular

Bwa-ha-ha-ha! Halloween has finally come and gone and I am so over fake spiderwebs stretched across my house and all things zombie! It is official - I am ready for Christmas to get here. But before I hang a sprig of mistletoe I thought I'd share some photos from our family's Fourth Annual Halloween Spook-tacular. We had a great turn out of kids (and adults) ready to carve up some pumpkins, bob for apples and parade in their costumes.

I received so much wonderful feedback from partygoers regarding the decorations, food and dessert displays. Please enjoy the photos and Happy Halloween! (Only one more year before we get to do it all over again - oy!)
