Halloween Party Pictures

It was a great weekend.. My dear friend was in town for a few days. Lots of running around and getting ready for the party. We set up the witch up front and was quite popular with the trick or treaters. My friend Bethany made a delicious meat pie while I baked the cupcakes. The guests later decorated them and then consumed. My bf was drinkin up the burbon and entertaining the endless visiting kids at the door saying "This is frankenpuppy!! and she wants to be your friend!!
