Halloween

We kicked off Halloween this year by heading to Uncle John's Cider Mill.

Then we came home and carved our pumpkins.

Carter's 1st time digging into "pumpkin guts"

Hayden mostly thought it was gross and sticky and tried to stay at a safe distance.

On Halloween Day,

Hayden hosted a "Witches Tea Party" for some of her little friends.

It was one of my favorite parties!

We made little "witches charm" necklaces for each of the girls.

Here are their place settings and favors

 Our spooky candle centerpiece.

 Our "Witches Brew"

 I found this picture online and fell in love with it.

It was my inspiration for the party.

So I printed it and displayed it next to the witches brew.

That night we took the kids to trunk or treat

They were Pebbles and Bam-Bam.

Hayden couldn't believe it when people kept giving her candy.

She quickly became a big fan of "Trick-or-Treat".
