Yes, yes, I realize that it's January, but I just got these pictures (finally!) onto my computer and wanted to post them!
Anyway, David and I hosted a Halloween party in October, for which we made mountains of food and decorated the house like mad. Halloween is tied with Christmas for David's favorite holiday, simply because he gets to decorate the house. :) Here are a few pictures from our party:
I tried out a lot of Halloween crafts this year, and one of the ones I loved the best were these pumpkin candles. They're surprisingly easy to make - you simply use a drill to hollow out the middle of the pumpkin and drop a small tea light inside. I loved them because they looked cool, and David loved them because he got to make a craft using a drill.
David and I like to dress up as a couple, and this year we were Cleopatra and Marc Antony. With a lot of help from my mom, I made both our costumes, and we were the self-appointed winners of our own contest. :)
For food, we made double chocolate chip cookies with Reese's Pieces, witch's fingers, caramel pecan twists, chocolate noodle spiders, 7-layer dip, and swamp water punch.
We're attempting to make this an annual tradition for our friends, and also to make the parties themselves so fabulous that no one will dare not come! We definitely had a better turnout this year than last, when three people total came, and at different times. Since we're not in Provo this year, several of our friends who couldn't make it down to Utah county made it up the canyon.
