Halloween Celebrations~

You would never guess that Halloween is not one of my favorite holidays because of all we had going on.. So bear with me...we begin with our Annual Randall Halloween Party. We have such a good time dressing up....this year I BEGGED Charissa to do another "costume theme". I thought it would be cute and fun to have my children dress up as bugs and me as the bug catcher. Madalyn already wanted to be a bumble bee and naturally Anna is our "ladybug'. So after she realized she could wear her favorite TuTu she relented! And Carson was the perfect bug...Transformer Bumblebee that is!

Here are a few of the grandkids waiting to get the party started!

We had lots of yummy, scary food!

Spent the weekend making cupcakes. The spider cupcakes were really fun to make.

Grandpa played the traditional Halloween Bingo Game with his grandchildren.

Charissa our pretty bug with her newest cousin, Preston the mummy! Such a cute costume~

 Our two bugs...Anna the Lady Bug adorned with her tutu and 

                Maddy the Bee sporting her look~And Carson as our mighty Transformer! 
                                                          Awesome Dude~

 And here is the reigning champion of the Donut Eating Contest. Warning...this is graphic :)

On Halloween Day we decorated our courtyard as a spooky graveyard! Seriously...we had so much fun and this is something I've never done before...but it turned out great and we have even better ideas to add next year! I know crazy huh? Keep in mind the pictures don't even do justice and as I tried to take some pictures the fog from the fog machine made it less visible...which was the whole idea. And the strobe light didn't show up either but this will give you an idea of what the little trick or treaters entered on Halloween night!! OOOOOO..

The bag of bones in the center even glowed in the dark. We had spooky music playing and we even had a remote control tarantula we would have crawl up their feet when they knocked on the door.

My kids want it known that it looked way cooler at night! We scattered leaves everywhere to give it a graveyard feel and had eyeballs staring at you through the windows. 

We had soo much fun~ The only disappointing part was that we had hardly any trick or treaters. So next year we want you all to come and visit!

Happy Halloween from our Haunted House to yours~
