We moved into our current home about 10 years ago. It was January 31 and the day was a typical cold and snowy New England Winter's day. I had a two-year-old as well as a newborn and I knew no one in our tree lined neighborhood. It took a good six months to really start to mingle with the neighbors, but during those six months I discovered we'd moved onto a street that had several small children and babies! When October rolled around I decided to host a neighborhood Halloween party! We've thrown a bash of some sort or another nearly every year since. Occasionally we've skipped a year here and there, but basically we do our best to host something for the neighborhood kids and grown-ups. We missed last year, so this year we're trying to make up for loss time. Here is the invitation I designed for the big night!
Here are some photos of Halloween past...

What sort of fun things will you be doing this year for Halloween? Let me know in the comments!
