Can't forget Halloween Night

Gracie and her buds. Gracie was a cute devil for Halloween Night because we got this devil costume from her cousin Zach. So I decided to make it more girly by making a gold mini skirt with black lace, 3 sparkly gold roses on the neckline, and a gold rose set off by black lace by her horn on her head. I thought she was wickedly cute. James and Nixon were too.I planned a Halloween Party for us and two other couples but then we were wanted to invite more friends. So Angela who you see with her son Landon, graciously agreed to host the party that I planned at her house. Little did I know how well she throws parties. From mixed virgin drinks, too black cauldrons, candle tapers, and dry ice, let's just say she had all the goods and skills. Thanks Angela for a great party.
Look at this awesome table setting.Luke eating a mummy dog before trick or treating. He is just one big kid.
Kara stayed home handed out candy and did the last minute prep while we went to a couple of houses.
Gracie wanted to push the stroller instead of ride in it so we were the slow pokes.
Gracie loved getting candy out of each bowl.
Unfortunately she wanted to eat it all too. This picture is hilarious because she has a wrapped sucker in her mouth and her hand in the bag.
Our cute trick or treaters.
Kara made her tradition on Halloween, Dinner in a Pumpkin - a beef and rice recipe.
And I made Brazilian Dinner in a Squash- a chicken and cream cheese recipe. Don't worry we weren't competing. It was fun to have two totally different tastes.
Cassidy and Rich brought a real KEG (of rootbeer)- so good, and then she made Old Fashioned Donuts, Brigham Young's recipe. I could eat all of them.
I also made "Apple Pie" Caramel apples. They are to die for. They sell them in candy stores for like $7.99 each. But they were so easy to make and so addicting. You have to try them. I will make them again and take a better close up picture for you and share the recipe. Just know they are dipped in caramel, then white chocolate and rolled in brown sugar and cinnamon. So pretty, so yummy.
We ended the night by playing Murder Charades and each made up our own entries for other people to act out. All in all, it was AWESOME!!

Looks awesome! I LOVE those apple pie caramel apples. There is a place in St. George that makes great ones.
