Halloween 2010

Halloween(Sunday Night)........made cupcakes, and more cupcakes for treats(no tricks)! We invited our friends and their kids(Aaron's friends) for a Halloween/Football Party. Yeah, it was Sunday football(Vikings) and the guys had fun watching the game before the kids went trick or treating.

Table settings
Aaron made up his table for the kids to party and enjoy. Aaron even made little dinner menu's for the kids and gave them each a marker to use and party favors.



Decided to have potluck for our party: BBQ, Beans, Chips, and Punch and fruit tray.
Took the snowmobile trailer trick or treating/ and tricked it out a bit. The kids had fun riding in the back...and it wasn't too too cold for Minnesota that is!!! Here the trailer with lights on:
Candy loot...the kids got alot of candy! Below is photo shoot I did with Aaron in his costume....he was a root beer this year. Everyone kept drinking out of his straw(LOL)!

Muffin was Jealous...she wants candy too(poor muffin)!!!
sad little shihtzu! ha.....well another fun Halloween! Now onto Thanksgiving....and than GULP....CHRISTMAS! Why do these months just go by so dang fast? Holiday Season is upon us and we just got TONS of fresh snow. Looks like it will be a white Thanksgiving.

Annual Halloween Party 2010

Halloween was a fun night! The whole Halloween weekend was full of activities and fun. Here some of spooky fun we had over the Halloween weekend. First, Spooky glow from lanterns ........as we prepared for our annual Halloween Dinner Party(Saturday Night).

A photo of the table settings.....did the table a little different this year. New plates: Dessert plates from Grandinroad and dinner plates and cups from Target. I found some cute party favors for the table at Micheal's...and used some treat bags from Micheals for my silverware.


Love the dessert plates......all four had a different pattern and plates are ceramic.


We enjoyed our liquid death and beetle goo ALOT!


The theme was Spooky Ghosty Forest/so I added alot of twigs, Ghosts and eerie lights.


Forgot to take a photo of the food ....all I got was the slim pickin's that was left after we chowed down. LOL! We had the usual: Roast Beast, MashBOOtatoes and gooey gravy, corn on the cobweb, dinner die rolls. Along with our potions of Vino(bettle goo, and liquid death). I also made some Milano Ghostie cookies. I put them ontop of my pumpkin Crustless Pie dessert(with a dollop of whip cream....and put the ghost on top of the cream....they look like they were floating on clouds). I think I made too many milano ghosts tho.....i'll be eating them for along while!!! I covered the milano cookie in melted white chocolate...and added the mini choco eyes and when cooled I added some freaky faces to the ghost with cake/cookie decorating frosting.


We added our ghost this year again too, only this time because we had spooky ghost forest up in the dining room.....we decided to keep the ghost in the foyer only. The ghost worked alot better in the foyer area. We also added a blinky light to the ghost....so he could be even MORE spooky.


Added a couple photos of Aaron in his pumpkin shirt......he really likes Halloween Alot! He was lucky this year and got to spend his Halloween with some special friends that joined him in trick or treating. I'll post more later about our Halloween Night.

Annual Halloween Dinner Party 09

Hosting our annual Halloween Dinner Party for family. Didn't have time to "fix up" myself much but wore my Witchy hat I found at Festival Foods of all places. It's fun hat....it has a skull/crossbones hanging from it and you press it and it plays music. LOL! As you can see the dining room is ready for the dinner party. Dinner was in the oven and getting ready for festivities.


I wore my black kitty cat shirt: Doug thinks it's really an appropriate shirt cuz it says "wicked Kitty" LOL! Kitty is one of the various nicknames he has had for me. I told him I could wear this shirt year around(hee hee).

The table is set and ready with all the treat bags and goodies and party favors.
As you can see my table is full of stuff......not much room for the eats! You can see the ghost too!

Here closeup of the felt treat bags and the party favor candy corns.

Aaron's Place setting...he made the pumpkin candle(with the dixie cup). It lights up with one of those flameless candles inside. Aaron is pretty inventive kid. He was so proud to put it on the table. He helped me out alot ....decorating the table. He really enjoys it all. He was real excited to put the character cups out on the table with me. He assigned everyone their character cup.

Couple photos of the centerpiece and candles lit.

My extra table(cuz the dining table is always FULL) holds the FOOD! Here is the salad. YUM! Tequilaberry's salad(we don't make this...we order it from local market...it's so tasty).

Here is the FOOD.....Had Roast Beast(beef), with corn, carrots, potatoes and gravy, rolls.

I took the photo of the food table cuz I plum forgot to take a pix of my plate full of food....I scarfed it down almost before I forgot to take a photo. OINK! It was tasty! Nothing better than a roast in the oven all day long cooking. We had 2 roast cooking. The smell was just so good in the house.

We had Monster Mash Cupcakes for dessert. I wish I could take credit for these tasty cakes....but we ordered them. They're very fun cupcakes. They have marshmallow ontop with some icing(fondant?)over the marshmallow.

More cupcakes: and for people that wouldn't like the monster cakes.....I picked up some regular cupcakes too. Aaron with his grandma..................and the fun creepy hand he made at school.

Aaron worked really hard at decorating his table for Halloween party too. Isn't that cute? He was setting it up for his friend Rabbit(stuff animal) to eat for dinner. Aaron also decided to try out my witches hat. He looks better in it!!!








Thanks for stopping by........and see you next year at our annual dinner party. This year it was the dinner party that almost didn't happen. We've all been so sick but luckily got better like within week of Halloween. I'm glad we were able to have our party. It was a fun time again. See ya next year.
