This year our family decided to continue its "tradition"(I guess we have started) of having a Halloween costume party for the kids.  The one we had last year was tons of fun, but it was a little challenging having such a large mix of ages running around everywhere. This time, we decided to have 2 smaller parties, 1 for Brie and Nate, and the other for Natalie and William. It worked like a charm. Everyone had a fantastic time. We played loads of games and could not pass up eating lots of treats.  I think the sugar rush will take months to wear off!
