We hosted a Halloween party this afternoon for our friends and neighbors. Our party was a hit thanks to Megan sending the decorations and cookie making kit along with the cake mix and frosting. All the kids decorated cookies with colored frosting and ate cupcakes covered in sprinkles and candy of their liking. The Moms chatted and oversaw the decorating and then the kids played and thoroughly messed up the house. There was lots of laughing, squealing, and other kid noises. It was wonderful to have the house full of friends. Grandma and Grandpa sent Addie a black cat costume so she wore this one today. She kept saying "meow" over and over. Addie had been eyeing the chocolate cupcakes all morning and it was quite a chore steering her away from them at snack time. When it was time for the kids to sit down and decorate she eagerly waited for me to place the cupcake in front of her. She cupped it in her two hands and ate it frosting first. She kept lifting her hands full of cupcake to her face for bite after bite. I didn't intervene but instead took lots of pictures of her enjoying the chocolate. She was smeared in cupcake and frosting by the time she was done but the experience made her giddy. It took three of four kitchen towels to clean off all the kids. What fun!

Looks like they had a blast!!!I think addie is going to have the palate for chocolate at an early age. I'm glad the kids and parents enjoyed all of the Halloween fun. Wish I could have been there! Love you all.

Mmmm! Looks delicious! Addie seems to be enjoying herself! I'm glad to hear you guys had a great time.
She is sooo cute, i can't get over it! oh the joys of halloween! I had to introduce many of my international friends the joys of Halloween! They couldn't believe that people would just give kids candy for really no reason! They were also amazed at the lengths people would go to to "Trick" kids on Halloween. They enjoyed the uniqueness of America! Enjoy your candy Addie! Love you bunches.
