Trick or Treat

Halloween 2010 started off with Asher as a Super Jew Superhero.
Softa bought him the Super Jew onesie last Hanukkah and thankfully it was 18-24 months.
We recently bought Asher a NC State Wolfpack Fan cape and he LOVES wearing it.
Let's just say this wasn't the first time he wore it. Yay for Dress up!

Asher's buddy Jacob Hirsch came over dressed as a sweet lil duckie.
They had quite a fun play date. Asher didn't attempt to step on Jacob too many times.

Quack Quack!

As guests started to arrive for our Halloween gathering Asher transformed from a Superhero to a Sock Monkey!

Jen and Jason came over for treat or treating!
He wasn't so sure about the hat...

We made it to several houses on foot.
Impressive for a new walker, but then again he is a busy body and thought trick or treating was THE BEST TIME EVER!

Our neighbor Eric letting him dig into the bowl!

Our sweet sock monkey loved seeing all the kids in costume!

More candy...ohhh yeah!

The sky was gorgeous yet eerie as the sun went down!!

Somebody was having a blast!

Nana and Poppy came dressed up and were by far the best dressed of the night!
(Asher was obsessed with watching the trick or treater's)

Asher with our next door neighbor Amelia.

Softa and the Sock Monkey!

We had a TON of food
Turkey Chilli, Beef Chilli, Beer Cheese Bread, Guacamole, Jicama Salad, Sprinkles Pumpkin Cupcakes with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting, Baked Apples, Nut Nosh & Chocolate Chip Banana Bread. It was delicious.

As always I had to get creative with the pumpkins.
This year I etched a pumpkin with wood carving tools. We loved the glow effect!

Our classic NC State Pumpkin. We carved it one day too early and the N and the C shrunk but still pretty impressive without a stencil!

The "Oh No" Asher Pumpkin. The hands are Asher's actual hand true to size.

The witch's cauldron made with a crockpot and dry ice.
We will be perfecting this for next year.
We also had haunted music on the patio.

We had so much fun decorating and preparing food for Halloween that we have decided we are going to have an adult costume party next year with elaborate decor and effects.
364 days and counting!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!
