The girls creating "Gollum's Cave"! Mandy read scary stories by flashlight to "willing victims" in here...
It was a fun party. I think next year we will have an afternoon party with a Pumpkin theme so that all my friends can come. Some of my friends do not celebrate Halloween... Pumpkins are my "true" love, anyway.:0) The focus will be "out of doors" with a "s'more station", "pumpkin decorating station", "face painting station", and more. Time to start planning birthday parties now!

Hi Lori
We loved the pictures from your fantasic party. Everyone looks great in their fancy dress. Mandy makes a lovely Cleopatra and her friend with the spider wrapped around her looks wonderful. The kids must have had so much fun with all the bug decorating and mask making. You really hosted a wonderful event for them all. You have plans for next year already? They sound perfect. Hope you are having a relaxing Sunday.

You're very creative and I loved all your party ideas! The kids look like they had a wonderful time and you kept them occupied with such fun projects!
That's so sweet of you to think of others that don't celebrate Halloween too, and I think next year's pumpkin theme is a great Fall Party idea!
Everyone's costumes were great! You did a wonderful job and you have a beautiful family!

Hi Lori
Just noticed your new header. That's so funny. The look on Mandy's face is great. Katie reminds me so much of Jessica because she holds her nose like that when she eats things she doesn't like!
Enjoyed the pictures again today. Jessica said to me that you had the most 'tasteful' halloween party she has ever seen.

All I have to say, Lori, is...will you adopt me? Pretty PLEASE??? I just love your zest for life and for having creative fun! Your family is so lucky to have you! Love all your cute costumes!
Oh what fun! So impressed you are already planning the pumpkin party for next year, tee hee. Love all the 'stations!' My oldest had her big 'Halloween themed' Birthday bash this weekend too and we had a cupcake decorating station and did a pumpkin decorating station too, yay. The kids had sooo much fun.
