Annual Coombs Family Halloween Bash…Part 1

October 26, 2011 | Uncategorized

Monday night we held our Annual Coombs family Halloween Party!  Joe and I have held this at our house for the past few years and we always have A LOT of fun!  Allow me to share some party details:
The ‘Spooky’ Kids table.
 {If you look closely at the left hand corner, you can see London watching her new favorite obsession.  Aladdin. She cannot get enough.}
Mummy juice boxes.  {Covered in gauze}.
Kids favors.
Spider Plates.
As for the Adults Table:
Paper plates were purchased at Michaels. The plastic containers were picked up at a local teachers store via my sis for FREE! 
I made these paper lollies for the place settings.  The two decorative circles are just cupcake liners.  The outer one I made with scrapbook paper and then I printed Halloween images off of the internet for the centers. 
Silverware/Napkin holders.
I found these DARLING, LIVE pumpkin branches at Trader Joes.  Aren’t they unique?  You put them in a vase with water and you have an instant centerpiece!

As for our food….we noshed on:
SCABS – beef jerky
MONSTER MUNCH – this stuff is addicting.  I will post the recipe tomorrow.  {I always like filling cellophane bags with this and giving it out to friends and neighbors}.
MONSTER EYEBALLS – oreo truffles dipped in green chocolate with life savers and candy eyeballs on top!
VOMIT – spinach dip.  This clever little  idea was found on my friend’s sisters blog JAMIEE ROSE.  {A FABULOUS blog to read!!}
PUMPKIN BONES – cheese puffs
WITCH WANDS – chocolate covered pretzel rods
GHOST POOP – mini marshmallows
GHOST POPS – vanilla flavored cakepops
Straws purchased at Fry’s.
SAND-‘WITCHES’ – melt in your mouth ham and swiss sandwiches
CAT BITES – I have my local Basha’s bakery dye a couple loafs of bread black every year for me.  The kids LOVE it!
And for dessert…..
VAMPIRE CUPCAKES.  These pumpkin flavored cupcakes were DIVINE.  My sister-in-law/food guru Jenny made them and you can find the recipe HERE.

Later tonight I bring you PART 2 of our Halloween party: favors, costumes and the oh so dreaded FEAR FACTOR game.  I’m not naming any names but…..one person barfed this year from it.  I feel like my job grossing the contestants out was well done…mwah ha ha ha!

    I am almost embarrassed to admit how much I've been obsessing over this post. Like, staring at the pictures late at night, pretending that I'm you.
