Halloween Grams-style

One of our favorite parts of living in Utah is living right next door to Taylor's parents. It makes it so convenient to do family dinner together each Sunday night which has many benefits. The boys love getting to see Grams and Grandpa (Pa-pa to Isaac) and play with their vintage little people and Mr. Potato Head toys as well as Oscar the dog, Taylor loves getting to use their grill, and I love not having to cook anything!
We decided not to grill this Sunday because it's getting cold so Taylor's mom volunteered to do all the cooking. So when we showed up, this is what we found!
How cute is that? Apparently Taylor's mom used to make all these fun "Halloween" foods for her kids when they were still at home and she's been missing making them the last few years. (What? Grandpa isn't that excited to eat deviled egg eyes?) She was so happy to make them all and see Ethan's face (Isaac was more interested in the helicopter toy she had). And he loves to play with her Beanie Baby decorations.
Ethan isn't normally interested in juice or soda at all (strange child) but he loved drinking Grams' witches brew (apple juice and ginger ale). Taylor had more fun than anyone playing with the dry ice and blowing it in people's faces.
This is how Miles enjoyed the party (which was fine by me because I actually got to eat a hot meal).
And dinner wouldn't be complete without dessert.
Thanks Grams! We loved it!
