Halloween Party at the Traub's House

Our friends, Cara and Shaun Traub, invited us to a Halloween party at their house on Sunday afternoon.  It was so much fun!  Lance and I really enjoyed seeing some of our friends from college and their cute kids.  Cara and Shaun had a bouncy house in the backyard, which was a huge hit!!  Some of the other fun activities included applying Halloween tattoos, decorating baggies, going fishing for candy, playing in a balloon pit, and watching Charlie Brown and the Great Pumpkin.  Cara made the kids macaroni and cheese and hotdogs for lunch, and for the adults there was a delicous array of hors d'oeuvres and desserts.  As we were leaving, Max told Cara, "This is the greatest time I've ever even heard of"!!  So cute and funny.

Max and me with my good friend, Alana Sonenshine, and her sons, Reese (Woody) and Devin (Buzz Lightyear).  Reese is 13 months old, and Devin is almost 3 1/2.

Cara typed up a little iternerary for the day with details about the activites

These are the adorable cake pops that Cara made.  They were so delicious, too!!

This was such a cute idea.  Cara hid "ghost pops" throughout the basement.  They were dum-dum lollipops with tissues over them to look like ghosts :-)  Max found more than his fair share...

Still balancing :-)  I'm sure the force is helping him!
