We were finally able to throw a Halloween party for the kids. There are 6 of them (at this point) and for about 5 years my sister and I had been talking about throwing a Halloween party for them. It started when her Ryan was born, really.
This was the year. Jen and Jeff were even able (and willing) to drive from Denver to celebrate the best holiday ever (in my opinion). The big night was set to happen on Saturday, October 30th.
It was difficult to get the kids to hold still for paltry pictures when there were Pixy Stix to be devoured. Here we have Tinkerbell, Storm Trooper, and Blue Crayon.
We played games. This one quickly turned into a marshmallow fight. I mean, come on. It IS more fun to throw marshmallows at your uncle rather than a pumpkin bucket.
Then it was time to decorate the cupcakes. Simple, really. You only need frosting, oreos, candy corn, and Junior Mints. Oh - and a cupcake.
We later went trick-or-treating. We ended up in Farmington to do this. You should have seen my brother's house. Very cool. Pictures do it no justice, I'm afraid. This is a video of a window scene they had playing all night. Me likey.
