Monster Bash - A Family Affair

The great thing about hosting a Halloween party after Halloween is that everything is on sale for at least half off! Of course though, being the control-freak that I am, I planned this Monster Bash like 3 months in advance and had purchased 90% of my party supplies before Halloween. I used as many coupons as I could find and really price compared a lot. Overall, the party was a huge success. Both sides of our families attended and dressed up. The kiddos stayed up with the adults until midnight and everyone enjoyed themselves. I'm already looking forward to next year's party and the great thing about that is that I've already got most of the decor! Here are some pictures from the Monster Bash and the video of our costume show.

Add some colored lightbulbs for an eerie effect!

Accepting award for Most Hilarious. Ralph doesn't like the PoPo's. He kicked him in the leg. LOL!

I had tons of fun hosting this Monster Bash that I'm already looking forward to next year. I'm hoping to keep this tradition going. What did you do for Halloween?
