Yesterday we celebrated Abe's 8th birthday with one of his best friends, Loren. It was a success! 30 kids came to celebrate with them and enjoy a traditional American Halloween party. A big thanks to Loren's family for allowing us to use their home! They have an incredible yard that is much more like a park. Trampoline, inflatable slide, haunted house, halloween treats and great friends! We couldn't have asked for more!

This was a fun theme cake, but after 6 hours on the silly thing, I wonder why in the world would I do such a thing?
Thanks to Steve's mad fondant skills, we had life-like skeleton hands.
Melissa created these great popcorn bags
Monster Mouths
Frankenstein Jello Cups - it is the thought that counts, right?
The Stoddards did an incredible job decorating the yard
Eyeballs everywhere
Cat eyes
The American boys taught the Peruvians how to play real football. The gardener has marked out a football field, complete with goal posts. It was great!
Great trashbag ghosts
Rachel created this skull with the leftover fondant. She is so talented.
Mummy Canisters
and mummy-dogs
We decorated pumpkin and bat cookies
and painted pumpkins
My friend Melissa. (Oh yeah, Loren's mom)
Spooky daytime moon
Freaky Punch
Waiting to enter the Haunted House! The Stoddards have a great little guest house in their yard and 2 teenage girls who were excited about a haunted house. The HH was decorated with things leftover from the embassy patry the day before. It was a success! (I somehow forgot to take any photos of the inside.)
Ghost Suckers
Class Buds
Birthday Boys!
Chicken Fingers
Checking out the grub!
