Happy Halloween

Our dear friends, the Spannagel's, came to our house this evening for dinner and trick-or-treating. It turned into a party when Glammie and Guapo; Erin, Jason and Baby Audrey (lambie); came too.

We had such a wonderful time. The weather was fabulous, so Zach grilled Szechwan Chicken, ribs and asparagus, and I made caramel apple dip, carmelized onion dip and black cat cupcakes. Emily brought homemade mac and cheese for the kiddos, and they enjoyed veggies and dip. We ate and then went trick or treating.

Glammie bought the girls new princess dresses, on sale last minute from the Disney store. These were beautiful costumes that I'm sure the girls will wear almost daily for the next few months. Victoria was Princess Belle and Constance was Princess Snow White. It was very sweet when Victoria demanded a rose to complete her Belle Costume.
We also gave Snow White her poisoned apple. Thank goodness, it didn't put her to sleep!

By the time trick-or-treating rolled around, however, Constance had tired of Snow White and preferred to go out in her elephant costume from last year!


We had such a wonderful time with the Spannagel's, and my parents, bless them, stayed behind to hand out candy. They even cleaned the dinner dishes! THANK YOU, GLAMMIE AND GUAPO!

Oh! and this post wouldn't be complete if I didn't mention the awesome Mickey Mouse jack-0-lantern that Zach carved. It was awesome.

Happy Halloween!
