Last Sunday we celebrated Halloween with a fun family party.
I kept it fairly simple and added a few Hydrangeas and pumpkins to the large sugar mold candle holder already on the table.
Awwww, just something sweet about Hydrangeas and pumpkins!
I made 18 of these mini ‘dinner in a pumpkins’. The pumpkin was a little darker than I had hoped, but it tasted delicious! Three tables were set to accommodate all of us, but I didn’t get pics of the others. Having too much fun! lol! Our oldest sons family was not able to come at the last minute and we sure did miss them!
I’ve done dinner in a pumpkin before but usually use a larger pumpkin. I picked out 18 of the smallest pie pumpkins I could find.
Sam brought homemade mac & cheese for the little ones that would think dinner in a pumpkin was, ‘yucky’.
Nichole brought this fun and tasty cheesy ‘mummy’ bread.
I made a baked brie. I added orange food coloring to the egg white before I brushed it on to make it look like a pumpkin. Darn, I was out of green food coloring for the vine. We also dipped granny smith apples and strawberries.
And Karrah brought a bewitching spider dip!
Now for the yummy desserts.
Pumpkin Pie cheesecakes.
and mini Rice Krispy treat pumpkins.
Karrah made a super yummy drink but I missed getting a photo.
Dalan and Sam’s costume was the hi-lite of the night.
Most of you already know. Yup, there’s a little baby skelly ‘brewing’ in there!
What teenager doesn’t love the Walking Dead? Good thing we had an axe man to slay her!
On the sweeter side we had a pretty little Rainbow Dash Pony,
Look at those bangs. . .SA-weet!
And a sure to be famous some day, racecar driver.
Try as I might, I could not get a good picture of this little firefighter. He was so busy dashing around. Busy putting out fires, I guess. Ha, ha! He seems to have lost his hat along the way.
We played ‘Boo Bingo’ and had a lot of fun, but again I didn’t get any pics.
This year was the first time I didn’t dress up. Just had too much going on.
Wishing you all a very Happy Halloween!
hugs,
Jann

This is just the most precious post that makes me smile! I do believe that autumn and all it's pumpkin tastes and goodies, and everything connected to the happy, cheerful spirit of Halloween is like one of my all time favorite times of the year. Your post covers it perfectly!

Looks like so much fun. So many yummy treats, and dinner in a pumpkin? I need to try that.

Oh, how fun!! The little race car driver looks like such a sweetie. I'm going to Pin that Mummy Bread so I can remember how to make it next year! and I'm trying to figure out what was used for the stem on the Rice Krispie Treat pumpkins. Halloween Hugs,
