We did the whole trick candle thing on Gabriel's cake. He, and the other kids, got quite a kick out of it. I had made the cake earlier in the day but was a bit busy with the baby when the kids wanted to frost and decorate it. So Abagail volunteered. She did a great job! She frosted it with coconut pecan frosting and decorated with misc. Halloween candy. It was quite a sweet, crunchy cake to eat.
Our cousins, Ryan and Manissa, stopped by with their parents. They came in time to help us eat the cake!
Our Halloween dinner tradition is pizza. Over the years we have evolved this into making our own pizza instead of doing store bought. This year we added a new element: Jack-o-Lantern pizzas. The kids saw the idea in an Ad for a local pizza store - they thought it was cool that we could do it at home too. Of course we did it better because we added the olives and peppers. It went great with the fried rice Aunt Yaw brought - and I gotta say, no matter how many times I try, I cannot make fried rice taste as good as Aunt Yaw's.
After dinner we had our family night. For activity the kids got dressed in their Halloween costumes and opened Gabriel's presents. Photos of costumes are on the post "All Hallow's Eve".
