Oct. 18 - 2008 Octo-BOO! Halloween Bash - The Best Little Halloween Party Ever!

2008 Octo-BOO! Halloween Bash!

I had the kids' Halloween party at Stonegate Park. The setting was perfect with the stone wall entrance with lanterns and wrought iron gates...the trees were in full color and leaves were raining upon us throughout the party. It was the most perfect day. The sun was shining and it was in the 60's. Waubonsie Creek runs along the backside of the park with a walking path. Very secluded and cozy setting for our event!

Let the party begin!

Here are the mommies and grandmas all dressed up & ready to party
