The girls approached me earlier in the month about having a Halloween Party for a few of their friends at our house. The still love trick-or-treating, but as they get older, they love having their friends over to hang out even more. And, both Steve and I are 100% in agreement that we want them to have their friends over to our house whenever they would like. Throw in a good theme and a few decorations -- and I am ALL IN.
I enjoy being creative and mixing things up whenever I can, so I brainstormed on a few festive treats to serve.
Fruits and veggies are so much more fun when their is a mermaid skeleton laid out on the platter, right?!
Later, we served drinks with "blood," also known as raspberry syrup added via a syringe to Sprite.
Perhaps the highlight of the whole event was the Halloween Family Feud game that I had put together. With some help from Etsy and my own editing, the girls had a blast playing on teams and trying to guess all of the top answers in each category. The whole thing was digital so we played it on the projector and it was complete with sound and buzzers. I anticipate that we will use a version of this again at a future party, for sure.
Later, the girls came back inside and set up their "beds" down in the basement. It was a hodge-podge assortment of mattresses and bedding, but it worked out perfectly and everyone stayed toasty warm.
The next morning, the girls came upstairs for a full breakfast (homemade French toast sticks, bacon, juice and fruit) and after the girls got picked up by their parents, we sent to work bringing pumpkins in to prepare them for carving.
