This dinner gives me the creeps…

I recently had a friend mention to me that I have neglected to post the pictures from our creepy Halloween dinner. Soooo… just in case you need some ideas for an awesome Valentines day, here you go!

This year we branched out and invited a few friends over. It made the night a lot more fun and we will definitely do it again next year!

Lila and Abby cut out and penned the labels. I love them (labels and girls).

It was the creepiest dinner I have ever eaten. Everything was so delicious that I'm going to steal everything and make this a new tradition. Thanks for the invite.
