Halloween Fun!

Last year, I had an AMAZING time celebrating Halloween in the Kansas City area with my brother and his family. It was so much fun to relive my childhood and go trick-or-treating with my nephew, but I have to say that this year was equally as fun with a little more of an "adult" Halloween!

This year, I spent the night at home with with a few very close friends. It was a low-key night, but still quite festive and I had a SUCH a great time! Who knew that fog machines and dry ice could be that much fun?!?!

Instead of a big meal,  we had a bunch of tasty appetizers and drinks that everyone contributed to.
Caprese Salad with Buratta, Bacon Wrapped Bleu Cheese Stuffed Dates, Brie Cheese and Blackberry Jam Pockets, Zombie Eye Deviled Eggs, Mini Mummy Dogs, Chips, Salsa, Guacamole, Pumpkin Beer and last but certainly not least - Blackberry Moonshine! 
YUM!!!

And because Halloween just isn't Halloween without dressing up in SOME way, 
here's a look at a few of the costumes I wore this year!
Devil Robyn and Devil Ming while prepping the yummy apps, Toga Robyn for the fun Halloween night festivities, and Black Cat Robyn for work!

Girls Night: Halloween Style!

I am going to be busy with my brother and his family on Halloween, so I figured I'd have a Girl's Night before and make it festive for the season!

I made some themed food and drinks and the girls contributed a little too. 

Take a look at all the treats we had to celebrate Halloween!

The table with all the goodies.

And close ups of most of them...

Witch's Brew

Another view of the brew!

It's not Halloween without a little fog machine fun!

OR some fun board games in costume!

We dressed up, and without planning we were all some form of animal.  

I'm sure many people aren't surprised, 
but I was a Black Cat.

And after a little eyelash mishap, 
I became a Nerdy Black Cat!


I had TONS of fun and cannot wait until Wednesday to see what other fun ways I can celebrate the holiday!
