Halloween 2015 - The Party

Phew! What a night we had!! This year's Halloween was extra special for 2 reasons. First, we were the hosts and I had to make sure all the decorations were up and the little bits and pieces were ready before the big night. Thanks to Nicola and Matthew the place looked very good. I was glad the kids managed to make some decorations earlier in the week so I could use them to add extra touches to the finish too. Second reason was very obvious, the RWC final game was on. NZ vs Australia!!! Even tho it started just before midnight we must all watch it together LIVE!!

I decided to decorate the place in two separate areas. The dining area was looking more Halloween like and the living area to be more All Blacks. It worked out very well. Somehow I was busy running around and forgot to take pictures of the rooms... Oh well it looked good anyway.

Last year we were very happy with our family themed Halloween costume so I made sure I was well prepared this year. I knew Merryn wouldn't be here to help me sew!

The Star Wars Family - I was very happy to be able to recycle Oliver's old Yoda costume I made when he was 2, with Ashley. And she didn't mind wearing it!

Unfortunately some of our friends couldn't make it but we had more than enough scary/crazy friends to make the party absolutely perfect!
