My Favorite Holiday

Now that the weather is getting chillier, the lights are going up around town, there's a bit of spirit and cheer in the air, it's time to talk about my favorite holiday--Halloween!  Yep, I'm a little behind on the blogging.

I said in an earlier post I'd explain why we were so busy until three weeks before I wrote that entry.  When we moved into the house at the beginning of August, we were totally daunted by all of the unpacking, painting, and decorating that had to be done.  So we decided to give ourselves a deadline so that we'd buckle down and get things accomplished.  What better way to make sure we followed through than to invite all of our friends over for a haunted Halloween hootenanny?  If we didn't scramble and make the work happen, we would be embarrassed to let our friends walk through the door.  Well, it worked!  By All Hallows' Eve, the place was sparkling.  We even decorated the front yard!  What do you think?


We also got the chance to go to Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Magic Kingdom.  We wore some costumes that have been in our family for a number of years, but they're classics.

 We rode the Haunted Mansion...
 ...watched the fireworks...
 ...met the Seven Dwarfs...
...and ate lots and lots and lots of candy!  What fun!
