Halloween

Halloween was great. We had well over 900 people come to the door this year. The costumes were grand and the neighborhood was alive with haunts, laughter and excitment.

Halloween Starts

Halloween is BIG here. We decorate early in preparation for the amazing amount of trick-or-treaters we receive every year. We have been averaging 800-1000. They neighbor next door does a Haunted House in his enclosed porch every year. It has been his tradition to do this since he was a kid in the 1950's. The whole nieghborhood gets into it. This year we went with a focus on spiders. Carl, my boyfriend, came over and helped make our web, spider egg sacks and of course our captured human.

This is the inside of the big window. It is our "Batmas Tree" as Emma so aptly named it.

We also invite friends over for tasty treats and of course tours in the Haunted House next door. We also love the extra hands for candy distribution. This is our dining area ready for our spread. This year I am thinking my homemade rolls with cold cuts (always good to fill the tummy for a long night of trick-or-treating), meatballs in warm bloody sauce, red bloody velvet cupcakes, and of course tummy warming apple cider.

This weekend the we all went to a couple of Halloween Parties. Here we are. My little Mummy, Dark Wizard, Stealth Ninja, and of course me.
