Spoooooky dinner party

For the last couple of years my parents have hosted a Halloween dinner party for our family. This year they went all out. First, when we show up the house is decorated all spooky with tombstones and spiders and webs all with a black light shining on them... the black light doesn't really show up well in the pictures. (Also, these pictures are crappy, our camera was on the nighttime setting so all the pictures in the house look a little weird)



Then we were greeted at the door by a crazy, hunchbacked mad scientist... my kids were totally giggling, they thought grandpa looked awesome! Breckyn says "Grandpa looks freaky!"

The black and orange cuisine was spooktacular! We had Caesar salad with orange colored dressing, black cherry jello with orange whipped cream, orange bread with green garlic butter, and black noodles with orange colored chicken alfredo sauce. It was yummy, eventhough it didn't look very appetizing!


Claire was not about to eat any of it.


The kids spent a lot of time dancing to Halloween music, they had so much fun. They LOVE to dance apparently.


My mom had a cute Halloween craft for the kids to make




At the end of the night, my mom gave all the kids some new Jammies. And of course they had to put them on right away!

It was really fun! Thanks mom and dad for the great party!

So, I was just on my brother's blog and he had this picture posted and I totally had to steal it. This is what a good picture looks like when someone who knows what they are doing takes a picture with a really nice camera. The black light effect looks nice and creepy behind my mad scientist dad.
