L & T's Annual Halloween Party!

First off I had to post a picture of the food. Doesn't it all look cute? It was tasty too!
Here are Ben and Cooper, the two Peter Pans. Right when we walked in Cooper saw Ben's costume (which Laura made by the way) and saw that his shirt was jagged and he asked me over and over until I went and got scissors and cut his shirt to be jagged like Bens. Cooper told me "we did it wrong mom!" Isn't that hilarious?

The characters from Peter Pan! Tom-Smee, Laura- Tiger Lily, Ryan-Captain Hook, Mom and Dad-Mr. and Mrs. Darling, Me-Tinkerbell, Jackson-alligator, Elizabeth-Wendy (laura made her costume as well), Ben and Cooper-Peter Pan.

Dana and me with Elizabeth, Jackson and Ashlynn (Dana's daughter)

Laura and Tom had all kinds of fun games planned for us all. Here are most of the kids getting ready to play the games.

First up was the pinata!

I love Cooper's expression here!

Then she did this fun popping balloon game where there was a candy in each balloon.

After that the kids went out to play and the adults started the fun. She set up Minute to Win It and we all split up into teams and played some really fun games!


First game-unroll the toilet paper rolls first! (which I won by the way, I know I know, don't be jealous.)

Next-blow a bubble from one side of the room to the other.

Then toilet paper rolling.

Tom won and I just love how E is looking at her daddy!

Next-keep three balloons in the air.


Then balloon tennis which was actually really hard! (maybe I feel that way since Dana and I got out first!)

Then they had to pick up bags with their mouths and not using hands or legs- I couldn't believe how good they were at it, Laura and I tested it out and couldn't get any!

I had to post a picture of Tom doing it because he was able to get all of them!

Then the dohnut eating game.

Next was the candy throwing game.


The next game was the cookie game-you had to wiggle the cookie into your mouth. I got some hilarious pictures but didn't want to post any, for fear of retribution some day! :) This one was cute of Janet!

The last game was the tissue box game.

Like always we had SUCH a good time! Already looking forward to next year!

What great games I missed while Katie and I did kid duty in the back yard! Of course I'm probably glad so there is no photo evidence of me looking goofy!
Loved the story of Cooper and his costume, and our group shot is pretty good too!

This party looks awesome!!! I am so impressed that everyone in your family agreed to dress up in 1 theme! That is great. The food looked like a lot of fun too. I think the games must have hilarous! That could work for almost any party but I love how she "Halloweened" it up with black balloons and candy. Nicely done!!
