To say that we’re into Halloween would be the understatement of a lifetime.\u00a0 We’ve been throwing Halloween parties for twenty years now and every year we add a few more decorations, so we’ve accumulated a lot of really cool things.\u00a0 For the ten years, the parties were for the kids, but now we’re all about the adult Halloween party.\u00a0 This year’s party is tomorrow, so we’re frantically getting ready since our remodeling work didn’t finish until two days ago.\u00a0 It normally takes us two weeks to decorate the entire house, so the pressure has been on to finish and get everything done in time.<\/p>\n

We decorate both inside and outside and every year the theme for the outdoor decorations change.\u00a0 This year’s theme is spiders, so we had fun building a giant spider web that spanned the entire front porch.\u00a0 We even have a body wrapped in spider webs hanging from the top of the porch.\u00a0 We always do a small cemetery scene, so spiders are crawling throughout.\u00a0 We also match our costumes to the theme, so we’re dressing as Frodo (assuming you get the reference from the Lord of the Rings<\/em>) and a Black Widow.\u00a0 Inside the house, we go as far as changing out our artwork and even change some of our curtains.<\/p>\n

We’re making marinated mushrooms, antipasto spears (with olives, marinated peppers, prosciutto, pepperoni, and mozzarella cheese), tea sandwiches, pumpkin sage shrimp, and a variety of other snacks.\u00a0 Obviously we’ll have plenty wine and beer on hand as well.\u00a0 We wish you could all join us for the party, but we’ve added some pictures to help everyone get into the spirit of the party.<\/p>\n
