Halloween (yes, even though it is December)

Since it is December, I thought I should finally post some Halloween pictures. I also noticed that I have written stories and such and haven't posted pictures in a long time, so here you go. We grew up having a lot of fun on Halloween. We never dressed in scary costumes, but we had fun with the whole day, so we are passing that tradition along. For a couple of years, we have had a Halloween party with just the six of us and made some fun/creepy foods. We have a lot of fun and the girls love to cook. Sometimes we look up recipes and try festive things, but most of the time, we think of what foods we want to eat and how we can make it fit the Halloween theme!

"ghosts"--Potatoes and sweet potatoes sliced thin, baked with olive oil and cheese, put sour cream and chives.
"eyeballs"--deviled eggs with olives.

Autumn came up with the idea of "witches cauldrons". We got those tortilla chip scoop bowl things and let the girls make their own personal 7-layer dips...They put beans, tomatoes, cheese, sour cream, and whatever else in there.

"bones or fingers or something"--little smokies baked with bacon

yum...."creepy punch or something"

All dressed up and ready to go trick-or-treating.

Miss USA--Isn't she lovely?

Lolly the Clown--she was the cutest thing. The costume was passed down from a friend and is just so cute. She loved it because it at night, it glowed in the dark!

She called herself princess Rosabelle or something like that....she was so pretty!

Here is Cinderella. She has been Cinderella, in this same costume for at least two years. We keep trying to get her to be something else, but she loves Cinderella. The dress is about too short though. I'm pretty sure she will be forced to be something else next year!
