This year we did things a little different for Halloween. Hurricane Sandy made the weather questionable and we weren't sure we wanted to be outside (it turned out the weather was perfectly fine, but no regrets), and since we don't really live in a neighborhood, it didn't look like trick or treating was going to happen. We went to the Trunk or Treat for the ward party on Friday, a lot of fun, the kids got to wear their costumes and came home with quite a haul in candy.
 |
| Tyler was a fly fisherman |
 |
| Mollie was Tinkerbell |
 |
| Elise was a Cowgirl |
 |
| Reagan was Inspector Gadget |
 |
| Ashtynn was a BYU Cheerleader |
 |
| Tyus was a Football (Reagan wore this same costume about 10 years ago) |
So, now we decided to have a family Halloween party on Halloween Night instead of going out, complete with games, fun food, a scavenger hunt and a movie. So much fun and if it were up to me, not sure we would do the Trick or Treating thing again, but pretty sure the kids may have something to say about that. I worked extra hard yesterday so I could take today off and have fun putting this all together. It's not very often I have the time to cut spider legs out of olives, but with Tyler's help and a couple great naps from Tyus, we got it all together.

| Started the party with some magic potion, the kids loved this. Each of them got a different colored drink from the same soda bottle. Magic!!! |
 |
| My little Vampire Ashtynn |
 |
| Some Halloween Bingo |
 |
| Bowling for Ghosts |
 |
| Cutest little Halloween girls I know |
 |
| Scavenger Hun had them hunting all over the house and yard |
And my favorite part was dinner: Mini Ghost Pizzas, Spider Venom and Magic Potion, Deviled Spider Eggs and Mummy Hot Dogs with Chocolate Witch Cupcakes for dessert
 |
| And then we ended the evening with the movie Harry Potter |
These are the decorations I used, and I had so much fun putting them together.
