We had such a blast on Halloween. Since it's one of my most favorite holidays I love to celebrate it. I have anticipation all year for Halloween. We were able to reserve the clubhouse and everybody came over, including my aunt Sandy and most of her kids. It was great to see my cousins and their families, it's been a while. My grandma and grandpa Griffiths were also there. Candace came over early that day to help me prepare the great spread. Here are some links to most of what we made, and some of what we just didn't get around to making:

Candace and Jared won for the best dressed couple. Gary and I won the other two adult prizes. Lauri Dressed as Big bird, a costume her mom wore the year she was pregnant with Lauri. My dad was Cookie Monster, also from Lauri's mom. All the kids had a blast doing a halloween hunt and a pinata. We also painted pumpkins and played Halloween Bingo. The whole night was a lot of fun.
