Our good friend, John, turned 40 this year, so we surprised him with a party. We told him we were having a Halloween party, which was true, we just didn't tell him it was in his honor!
We had a lot of fun with the food and decorations!
 |
| Entry Way |
 |
| We had a table in the Entry Way with a picture of John, as well as voting chest for the best costume! |
 |
| We had an area set up in the Play Room where the kids could decorate Trick-or-Treat bags. |
 |
| Fall Mantle. The frames have pictures of Graham in his Halloween costumes from years' past. |
The food was also decoration, as you will see.
 |
| Pumpkin Patch- Rice Crispie Treats w/ Tootsie Roll Stems on Oreo Cookie "Dirt" |
 |
| Mexican Layer Dip w/Sour Cream Spider Web |
 |
| Jack-O-Lantern Carrots and Hummus |
 |
| Mini Pumpkin Pies...Joel's Favorite! |
 |
| Birthday Cake! |
 |
| We also had punch, lil Smokies, Caramel Corn, Kettle Corn, and Halloween Candy. |
Party People in the house!!! Graham had such a fun time playing with all the kids who came! It is great to see him becoming so much more social as he gets older. He played and played and played! He was sad to see all his friends go!
 |
| I loved seeing all the costumes!! |
 |
| Ava loved making treat bags...I think she made 3!! |
 |
| Macy's Owl hat kept sliding down, so I took it off. I guess she doesn't really look dressed up, but she's still cute! |
 |
| This was John trying to figure out who was behind the mask. It was Eddie...who won the contest for best costume of the night! |
 |
| Loved their cheer...it was from SNL! |
 |
Macy was so content with Ali. :)
|
 |
| Wayne State buddies! |
 |
| Surprise!! John was so surprised! I had to explain to him that this was a party FOR HIM!! |
 |
| Time for cake...and singing! |
 |
Graham says, "That's a lot of candles!!" ;P
|
Happy birthday John!!! We love you!

Glad I was not invited. I would have made a fool of myself gobbling up those mini-pumpkin pies.

This looks like it was great fun! LOVED all of the food! What an awesome spread!
Spider Web on the bean dip and Rice Crispie Treats ideas came from Pinterest.
