Every year we have a Fall Festival/Halloween party for our Sunday School, neighbors and friends. We have a house full of adults and kids and always, always have a great time! We provide the chili and everyone else provides whatever else we need.
We eat early so the kids can trick or treat. I didn't get a group picture with all the kids. I think it was just a little too chaotic. In a good way! Some of the kids have come to our house from the past 10 or so years. For some of our guests, it was their very first time.
EG a fairy ballerina.
Boop, the cheesehead.
We decided that NG was too old to trick or treat, so she and 3 of her friends stayed behind to hand out candy. She "dressed" up anyway. She put a big cup under her hair and combed it straight up and put it in a hair tie. It was pretty cool!
Little Mama was a spy. With red lipstick and pink hair. The one thing I love about making our costumes with things we have around the house is, the kids have to be super creative. And I like that. I think they do to.
For us, this party is the start of fall around our house. It gives us a reason to decorate and enjoy time with friends. Old and new. It gives us an opportunity to really get to know our neighbors and to have a little fun. It is a celebration of fellowship, food and fun. A great combination . . .
