Jackson's Halloween Party

Last year Chase got to have a Halloween Party so this year it was Jackson's turn!  He has been excited for this day ever since we started planning it.  One thing that I have learned is that I need to plan it silently until it gets closer because the boys get too excited and then it ends of being weeks of them asking how many days until their party.  I guess I can't blame them because I remember the same excitement when I was a kid.  A week ago Jackson took all his friends their invitations.  It is not as easy delivering invitations in New York.   Although it took a while, and next time I will probably do Evite invites, Chase and Jackson loved riding their scooters with their Halloween bags to deliver the invitations.

Jackson invited 5 of his good friends; Makeila, C.J., Madison, Joseph, and Sayer.  

Jackon helped me make, lick, and decorate the cupcakes at 6:00 this morning.  It ended up being a very busy weekends so we had to get an early start!  Somehow we managed to pull it off.

Making Halloween Necklaces

Decorating Haunted Houses

C.J. is in Jackson's class this year.  They have become good little buddies.

Haunted Houses on display!  We lined all the kids houses up once they were finished and little Chase helped me give them each a prize for their creativity.  Unfortunately my royal icing was somewhat of a bust and they did not turn out as well as I would have liked.  Luckily the kids still had a lot of fun decorating them and surprisingly they did not eat all the candy before it made it on their house.

The hardest part of the party

was reminding the other two

that the party was not for them.  They both wanted to be the center of attention.  Chase wanted to be a stand up comedian and Jayden wanted to be a real live dragon.
