Halloweeennnnnnn Tradition I'd say....

So, as you may remember in years past us folks here in the woods have had a Halloween get together of sorts....you know, campfire, candy, beer, no costumes except for the under 3 crowd. That sort of thing. See our FIRST gathering here....

Well, each year I seem to be more and more inclined to do it BIGGER! Yep, BIGGER skeletons, BIGGER ghosts, YUMMIER scary food, DELISH drinks, you get the picture.
So this year, with my two kiddies 3 and under I was.....welllllll......

SCARED!!!!!
How in the heck did I have time for a Halloween gathering that was supposed to be, (in my mind, no one else really cared I'm sure!!!) BIGGER...SCARIER.....YUMMIER!!!!!!!!!
And then....5 days ago....
I sent the email.
The invite...
To all our neighborhood.
Yep those same lovely neighbors with the gorgeous houses, delicious food and drinks, etc!

Yep, officially the best and most wonderful party planning experience I've had is this one.
Teaches me I think I'm MEANT to have a Halloween Party EVERY year! I think so! The few very piss poor pictures of the party follow :-) But I'll have you know this little soire included GHOSTS.....DEMONS PEEPING AROUND TREES!.....SKELETONS!........SCARY SEVERED HANDS RIGHT SMACK DAB IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR DINNER TABLE!!!!
