Halloween {2013}

Last year we celebrated Halloween in Florida, although a lot of fun, I was excited about celebrating it this year at home with our friends.

Two weeks before Halloween, we attended the annual mommy group Halloween photo shoot.

Unfortunately many mamas could not attend :(

A week before Halloween, we had friends over for a Halloween play date.

The day of Halloween Sarah dressed up in her costume once again for our Halloween class party.

For the 4th and final time, Sarah and her friends dressed up for a Halloween party at our place.

I once again turned to Pinterest for some fun and spooky treats for our Halloween party.

My menu consisted of 9 dishes/recipes.

To start the night off I made two drinks. One drink was a simple mixture of cranberry juice and ginger-ale. To make it spooky I placed water in a brain mold, added “worms” and put it in the freezer overnight.

My second drink was called Pina-Goulada. It consisted of pineapple juice, coconut water and white rum.

The food included; Graveyard Dip, Baked Mac & Cheese, Witches Hair Casserole, Monster Eyes (I had a ton of things left over from the play date that i made a bunch more), Cantaloupe and Blackberry Fruit Skewers, Jack-o-Lantern Tangerines, and Ghost String Cheese.

To complete the table my friends Sarah brought a scrumptious salad and a delicious soup to share. Nicole brought yummy caramel apple cookies!

I once again made homemade Pumpkin Spice play-doh for the kids to take home.

After about an hour and a half we decided to call it quits as it was getting really cold (55 degrees) and too dark for our not yet 3 years olds.

It was one of the best Halloween’s yet!
Hope you had a fun & safe Halloween!
