An Early Halloween Celebration

C and Tio decided they still wanted to host a Halloween party this year even though they just had Zach. Since the weekend of Halloween there is a lot going on they chose to have their party the weekend prior, which worked out really well. They didn't have a theme but still asked everyone to dress up. It took about a week of negotiations between Jon and Reed but we finally settled on a Super Mario Bros. theme for our family costumes. Jon happened to be out of town for a couple of weekends in a row so I spent most of those evenings putting together our looks. I'm so happy with how they turned out, the only exception is in our rush to get everyone dressed Jon and I both failed to put him in his studded bracelets and collar, he still looked great, but I can't help but think they would have finished off his outfit perfectly! Everyone that came to the party did a great job with their costumes and all of the kids had a blast playing in the bounce house for hours, eating pizza and cookies, and for the most part having fun with each other. The boys are at such a great age now that, other than helping them get their food, they pretty much entertained themselves the entire evening and had pretty spectacular behavior too! It was a great night and we stayed way too late enjoying the festivities. At the end of the night Tio even gave a "hayride" to the handful of kids that were still there.
