witches tea party

Many moons ago I conjured up an idea to host an early October gathering to help welcome the season of Halloween. I had read about a great way to sample the flavors and smells of autumn by having a witches tea party. What a great idea! It sat in the back of my mind for years but this year I decided to finally do it. Since my young nieces would be visiting soon I decided the mood would be light and cheery and everyone that attended would have to dress up as a witch. It went better than I expected and now I can’t wait to do it again next year. Keep reading to see how you too can throw a witches tea party of your own.

Disney’s Halloween Time is Back!

Events, Pumpkins

Went to Disneyland a few weeks ago and Disney’s HalloweenTime is Back in full swing! Main Street is a kaleidoscope of fall colors. There are pumpkins everywhere throughout the park including a 12 foot high Mickey ‘jack-o-lantern’. Candy and caramel apples are available to satisfy any sweet tooth. Toy Story’s own Woody and Jessie put on a themed show at the Big Thunder Ranch Halloween Roundup. Of course the main attraction is the Haunted Mansion, which is transformed into a Tim Burton ‘Nightmare Before Christmas’ theme. It’s a great time and right now the weather is a little hot, but still very comfortable. Only trouble is the crowds are pretty large. If you are planning a trip, might want to go during the week when the crowds are slightly less than a weekend. Continue reading →

Without further ado, here are some pictures from our Halloween party. Continue reading →
