Happy Halloween!!! Last night we threw our first Halloween Party. We had a blast! It was so fun to see everyone in their costume. We have some really creative friends! Scot and I had a great time decorating our barn with our friends Steve and Andrea. We tried to get the barn as "spooky" as possible.

During the night we played a few Minute to Win it games. After trying a few I will no longer mock the contestants on that show. The games are much harder than they look. Some of the games we played were, Don't Blow the Joker, Face the Cookie, Back Flip,Defying Gravity, and Go the Distance.
For the Party Scot and I carved pumpkins for the first time in 8 years. We had a great time doing it and everyone was impressed with our abilities!
Hopefully this our first year of many Halloween Parties! Thank you to all of you who attended. I hope you had a great time and are starting to think of your costume for next year!!!
Scot and I took them trick or treating to a few of our family members.
For their first Halloween they made out really well. They each received a dollar bill from Great Grandma and Grandpa Van Dam to start filling their piggy banks. 
My nephew Eli was a cowboy this year.
