Happy Halloween! What a fun day and night! Where to begin, well several weeks ago, Kaitlyn and I decided that we would co-host a halloween party...and so the fun began. We had three kinds of soup and lots of other yummy food. The Altman's were gracious enough to open up their home for this adventure. We had spooky mummy juice boxes, lots of candy, games and a whole lot of people we love! We are so thankful for all our friends that joined us and were willing to help us by bring food and their spooky littles to play!
So here is a rundown of our day, got up and started working on the yummy soup. We went over to Kaitlyn's to set up and bring lots of stuff over. Bonus play day for Cami and Olivia. Back home to finish cooking and take a nap. After nap we loaded up the truck with stuff once again and headed back to the Altman's, but first a quick stop to Trick or Treat at Daddy's office. Which is always a big hit. The office staff were not exactly expecting us, but luckily there is a stash of candy in the kitchen and breakfast bars....Cami lucked out with some of each!
Next stop, Party TIME!
The Altman's Spooky house! Love all the decorations. Kaitlyn and I have been saving milk jugs for weeks to do those ghost lights!
We had several activities/games for the kids. One of which was a bean bag toss station into monster's mouths. The Altman's made the adorable monsters and I contributed the bean bags (another useful sewing machine project).
Spooky Mummy Juice Boxes
Hailee made these adorable pumpkin rice krispie treats
Another game, pin the nose on the Jack-O-Latern.
This picture is from before the party actually started. Cami and I came over to the Altman's house early to get everything together and set up. These two cuties were ready to go already!
Daddy's here from work.
Sweet Olivia the Kitty Cat
Sweet Piper girl! She is dressed as Princess Belle, she even had a wig on earlier in the night. Her daddy came dressed as Beast...they were a great pair!
Freeze Dance party. this was serious stuff, since the lion took her mane off
Our cookie decorating station was a big hit! The kids would decorate and ice cookies and before the parents could stop them they had eaten four or five cookies! Aubrey (Supergirl) was adopted by Cami as her big girl cousin. As soon as she walked in Cami was attached to her hip!
During the 'Freeze Dance' Game. Caleb in the Elmo suite, Sam as cookie monster...
Trick or treaters waiting at a neighbors door....this wasn't even all of them!
The two party planners....
A fast moving Trick or Treat picture....appropriate for a Lion.
This shows you the mob that the kids traveled in while they were trick or treating. Matt walked with Cami the whole time, I stayed back and clean up a bit and gave candy to other trick or treaters. When we walked out to join our crew we could hear them all the way down the street! The surprise on the homeowners faces when they opened the door to 10+ kids was priceless!
Trick or treating. I couldn't get her to pause for a picture. She had such a fun time. That night when Matt was putting her to sleep she said, "Daddy, I am going to Trick or Treat tomorrow night too!"
Can you tell these girls love each other! The last 20 minutes after everyone left they just ran around the house hugging each other.
We had such a great time. Thanks to all of our friends that came and enjoyed, ate, played and trick or treated with us! It was so fun! Special thanks to the Altman's for opening up their home for this super fun night!
