Concentrating on stickers!



























I love Halloween, next to Christmas it is my favorite celebration. Since we have had children we have tried to something special for the season, now that they are both at such fun ages we thought it was time we threw a party! (yes 2 weeks early, but we wanted to kick of the holiday early!) I have been working for weeks on invites (I will post them later), decorations, games, food, etc! I love planning that sort of stuff so it has been fun. The night was great, but busy with 8 families with at least 2 kids each. The weather was wonderful so we were able to sneak in some outside time too, helpful to relieve the noise and energy of little kids. I love all my friends, especially there kids!
We decorated buckets that Aric monogrammed with vinyl and they all got to put Halloween foam stickers all over it. We ate nachos for dinner, played outside, decorated sugar cookies, and had a "treasure hunt" in hay in the garage. (they did great with this, and loved the little treasures they found!) We ended with dessert, and I finally let them break out the toys from the closet!

I still think you need to come and visit for your birthday, but next year for halloween would be fine too!
