Not so scary costume party

With Halloween being a few days away, I wanted to share some of the pictures from my children's annual not so scary costume party. I even made my first attempt to do a desert table, I enjoyed doing it and look forward to trying it again. I used some store bought items and added some Halloween touches to them. Look for links under the pictures for instructions. I purchased all of my supplies from Target's dollar section, Dollar Tree, Michaels and my table cover and napkins came from Party City.

I wanted to make sure I set the tone as the kids came to the door so I decorated my entry way

I even incorporated the food in the theme

The kids had a blast and my son is already asking about a Christmas Party. Truth be told I am looking forward to doing the next one too.
