A Fabulous Halloween Pinterest Party

So I know for the past month, I've been sharing little snapshots of our house decorated for Halloween!

Every month, my mom throws a pinterest party with a different theme each time.

This month was, of course, Halloween!

Everyone was to come dressed up

and to bring a pinterest-inspired food/drink.

It was a fabulous evening!

Before the party, my family took a group photo!

It's a little blurry, 

but I love it.

Here is our dining room all decked out!

There were so many yummy foods!

Here is my sister-in-law showing off the amazing set up.

:)

I love our little yard-sale owls hanging from the chandelier.

These windows are opposite of the big hutch in our dining room!

I love the owls in the window, too!

Of course our mantel had to be festive.

We went all out!

another view in the living room!

Quoting some Poe 

 And I'm sure you've seen This shot already!

 The "kids" area!

Complete with pin the nose on the pumpkin and coloring!

If you look on the bottom right, you'll see are votes for the best costume!

The Front door!

Right is the dining room and left is the "library"

Here is the bookcase in the library.

I love the gothic feel!

and that is the basic house tour!

now, onto the actual party:

First I will show you the costumes

I was a flapper, but more on that for WIWW

my mom was 50 shades of grey

and my youngest brother was cousin eddie from Christmas vacation (BEST movie ever!)

My sister-in-law was a sailor

and my older brother was a morph santa. This was hilarious!

my beautiful mother

 Our wonderful guests!

deep in conversations!

Jess (beautiful lady on the left) was "Identity Theft" 

she basically had "Hello my name is ____" stickers all over her.

It was so clever!

She won the contest, by the way!

cute little alex! 

He won the Pin the nose contest!

(He forgot to get a costume)

and crazy Ian, a family friend was an old man.

He had a cane and everything!!

All in all, It was a wonderful party!

I'm so excited for our next one:

5th Annual Christmas Cookie Exchange.

It is going to be great!

Pinterest Halloween Party: Food!

Next weekend is our annual halloween party! I am so excited and can't wait to share all the details with you. Today I am going to share what food we will be serving.

Of course, all of these ideas came from
Yep, you guessed it...
Pinterest!!!

Just to note:

We asked our guests to bring their favorite pinterest dish, because it is a pinterest party!

So, my mom and I are not going  to make a lot of food. 

Lets begin!

I fell in love with these cute witch hats! They are also going to be so simple to make. Just keebler cookies, chocolate kisses, and orange frosting! So adorable.

For some cute finger food:

How cute are these mummies!

They are hot dogs wrapped with crescent rolls. I think the kids will get a kick out of these!

For drinks:

With this super cute and easy printable, we are going to transform regular liter sodas, to spooky halloween inspired drinks!

and because no party would be complete without cupcakes:

We haven't 100% decided on what kind of cupcakes we are going to make, but I love these witch hats! They remind me of the movie "Hocus Pocus" 

(I LOVE that movie!)

and that's really it! Like I said, we are going light on the food, because our guests are going to bring most of it, but we couldn't help ourselves from making these spooky treats!

I love food

and halloween.

surprise, surprise
