Halloween Fun

The crowd


On Friday night, to celebrate the end of Anatomy, we planned a little Halloween get-together with the Richards and Wrights. We started off with the traditional Halloween dinner (from the Johnson family...thanks mom) with witch's brew punch, monster claw breadsticks, and chili. Then we toasted mini marshmallows over tea candles with toothpicks. We had a few mini raging infernos, but it worked out pretty well. After dinner we carved pumpkins. We made ours into an Emerson face because he has such a cute little jack-o-lantern grin right now with his two bottom teeth. After pumpkins, we took a short jaunt over to the Richards' house where we put Emerson and Taylee down for bed. Then Mike and Candice cooked up some fantastic pumpkin donuts and we had a donut eating contest. Candice won out of the girls and Rocky won out the boys. I guess they just had the biggest mouths...;) Thanks for the fun night guys!

You should be careful with those mini raging infernos. You wouldn't want a lame neighbor calling the fire department due to your uncontrollable flames.
