the one about a surprise Halloween party

My sister in law Danette and I had a surprise Halloween party for our kids last night. We both felt like this month has flown by so quickly and all of a sudden it is HALLOWEEN! We worked on it all day, and kept it a secret!! Here they are; pre surprise. They were very unsure of what was happening! They thought something was going to scare them!

Here are some of our fun foods. Everything tasted GREAT, by the way!!

(I posted Recipes on another blog that I am a member of. It has different recipes and fun ideas for families. It's super cute!!! My friend Lindsay put it together and asked me to be an author. Anyway, go check it out and you will find my recipes, and more, there. Click Here)

Spaghetti and "Oozing" Eyeballs

These meatballs were SO yummy! Our only difference was our noodles

The dogs even liked it!!! Gross.

Witch fingers.

This was the hit of the night, BRAIN!!! My mom made it, and it looked so REAL!!!! It was shrimp cocktail, and SO YUMMY! (For the recipe, click HERE. )

We also had this cute skeleton veggie tray and BRAIN dip. The first picture was from the internet, and the second picture is the one my grandma made for the party. She did awesome! She also added some things that she knew the kids would be more likely to eat.

Witch's Brew
I made a cheesecake and this Chocolate cream pie for dessert. We also let the kids decorate sugar cookies.

We finished off the night with pumpkin carving.

We knew this was going to be a super crazy week, so we decided to surprise the kids with this fun Halloween party. We didn't tell the kids anything all day and they were going crazy! They loved the surprise and I think it made them feel special that we did all of this for them. We invited the Grandparents to participate too, and everyone had a GREAT time!
