Places Everyone...

Bats. Spiders. Candy Corn. Cobwebs. We're ready. We're set. Halloween Party here we come!

We had a great time gearing up for the halloween season. we threw a pretty fantastic Donut halloween party this year, and i am sure it will continue to be a tradition every year.

this is the invite i designed and sent out, i also made super cute mailing labels and covered the invites with spider webs and an orange spider, so when friends opened the envelope they had to dust off the cobwebs before reading the invite. totally lame, i forgot to take a picture of what that looked like, but believe me, it was cool!

here's some of the decor...

and some of our great friends that came...

jamie, nancy and kacie

brody with his best bud neal

caroline and paul

elizabeth, cadie and eric

zach and alyson

kelli and kendall

dan and rachael

As far as the menu went...it was pretty simple. the plan was to make some homemade donuts, but due to some other things going on, i bailed last minute and ordered donuts from one of our favorite places. ONLY...to find out when tyson came home with them, they messed up our order, so he took them back and told the people they messed up, only to bring all the donuts back home along with a gift card and giving us our money back. SWEET. kinda can't complain. but i was still pretty sad not to have 3 dozen of my most favorite pumpkin spice donuts. oh well. it was still all very very tasty!

the food table

"witches brew" aka the drinks...milk and apple cider

deadly good donuts

spider bites

krispy critters

mummy munch

super yummy treats and super simple...just the way we like it!

when you are at one of our parties there will always be a Pinata, in honor of the brody bear, he LOVES Pinatas! so of course we had to have one for this shin-dig!

rrrrrrr me matey!

seeing to the fact we had no where in the house to hang the pinata, tyson bravely held it up

brody's friend Kade ( aka the nasa astronaut ) getting ready for a nice hit

pretty sure we hyped all of our friends kids on enough sugar to last them till next year. but the kids LOVED it, and that makes us happy!

my little one after eating a donut and like 4 mini tootsie pops...life is good!

another fun thing we had at our party was a PHOTO BOOTH and it was a hit! it was awesome!

i made signs to lead everyone up to our hallway where we had the photo booth set up

i just happened to have extra curtains and a rod to hang them, it was perfect! you ask...what's behind the curtains?? well...

voila! i set up my mac that has a program called photo booth...i just set it up on an old chester drawers we have and filled the drawers with all sorts of fun things for everyone to put on. and i of course had instructions telling everyone what to do...the results were so great! here is just a taste of the fun...

Thanks to all our amazing friends that came! it was seriously hands down one of the most fun parties to date! lots of good treats, great friends, good conversations and lots of spooky fun!

On another note...Having a Kid and holidays are so magical, i love it!

I wish I could just extend fall for a few more weeks (Or months. That would be fine too.) I feel almost frantic to See everything and Do everything outside before this place turns into a dark and dreary, cold world.

I just love everything about the fall! now that halloween is WAY over and done...Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays... here we come!!!
