Each year we give an annual
Halloween Party for our grandkids.
Here are some pictures and recipes from last years event. Enjoy.
The Invitation
One of the The Tables
 |
| The plastic tablecloths, orange chargers, paper plates, napkins, cups and skeleton straws were from the Dollar Tree. The Halloween tree as the centerpiece is one that I have had the last few years. I bought the plain black tree at a Wholesale/Retail floral and decorating store and then put on cute little halloween ornaments. |
White 'brains' decorated chocolate cupcakes with soft pliable 'rats' from Target and red piping gel blood.
Gory but Fun.
 |
| We put black spider rings in ice cube trays with the water to add some fun to the orange punch. |
 |
My dear friend and neighbor Michelle brought over cookie dough, almonds and red piping gel for everyone to make their very own 'bloody fingers' Both Children and Adults decorated their own sugar cookie.   Our son in law...Shaun was in charge of helping everyone dip their own caramel apples   |
For lunch each person made their own
Hot dog Mummies
- 1 tube (11 ounces) refrigerated breadsticks
- 10 Popsicle sticks
- 10 hot dogs
- Prepared mustard
- Separate dough; roll 10 pieces into 24-in. ropes. Insert a Popsicle
- stick into each hot dog. Starting at the stick end, wrap one dough
- rope around each hot dog, leaving 2 in. of the hot dog uncovered at
- the top for the mummy head.
- Place mummies 1 in. apart on a greased baking sheet. Place remaining
- breadsticks on another baking sheet.
- Bake at 350° for 18-20 minutes. Add dots of mustard for eyes.
- Save leftover breadsticks for another use. Yield: 10 servings.
The party was a 'howling' success. No one wanted it to end. And we're doing our 2012 Halloween Party next Saturday October 27. There are so many wonderful and fun ideas that we want to do this year thanks to pinterest. We know it too will be great fun!!!

Oh Nann. That looks so much fun. You always go to so much trouble but it always looks so great. As you know we don't really celebrate Halloween here in Australia all that much but I'm sure the kids would love to do something like this. I might just do something next Sunday.
