Campbell Annual Halloween Bash

This year marked the 6th Annual Campbell Halloween Bash. It is fun to have this tradition and even though this year we have been busier than ever, I was determined to keep the tradition going. It keeps a semblance of normalcy in my life if I can keep doing the things I always do.
We usually carve pumpkins but in the last few years we have added activities and games for the kids as well as the pumpkin carving since many of our friends have small kids that can't carve pumpkins and play with sharp objects and they just want to have fun.
We decorated the house to get ready and be in the mood and we got some yummy food as well. We brought out the witches brew punch with the dry ice coming in handy to make the punch boil and bubble.I was happy to see our friends and we had a great time during the night, chatting and carving pumpkins. Since Ava is so small and required so much attention from me, I didn't carve a pumpkin this year and let some of the kids carve it for me. Lorne carved an amazing one as usual and Kevin only carved the small pumpkin to fit inside a bigger pumpkin. I was a bit disappointed that the Astles didn't carve at our house this year - they always do and it is fun to watch the creative geniuses at their task. Hopefully they will bring their pumpkin next year.I was so pleased that the Zarcones came down from Frederick to party with us and we were so happy to have the Bishops also - it had been too long! Our new friends The Todds came and Marcia came after she was done at the shop. A great group of people and totally fun.It was a smaller group than usual but still very fun and we hope all that didn't make it will join us next year.
