Happy Haunting Party

IMG_1778

The weekend before Halloween, we threw an Adults Only Halloween Party. It was a scary good time. Ashlee Raubach was in town to do our family Pictures the next day so she documented the evening for us, and Culinary Crafts once again were perfection with their amazing food to fit our theme. If I believed in having a sister wife it would be Rachel from Culinary Crafts. I love her! Her staff was even all willing to wear masks to match our decor.

Our trick or treats Table

My only regret was telling Ashlee around 10pm that I thought she had covered everything and could go home. Cuz within an hour, the party had moved outside, the pool had been opened and about half our guests ending up going off the diving board in their costumes, including Eric and I. I love when Halloween parties in the cold fall turn into swim and hot tub in your costume parties....
Thanks to everyone who came and made it our best Halloween party yet!
