And the Halloween Finale....

Rouse House Family Halloween Party!
A new tradition?? Not sure yet, but we had fun!

We threw a family fun Halloween party this year.
We packed 10 families into the house, set out lots of food,
dug into several pumpkins, and turned the fog machine on.
Then, we let the madness commence!

Looking back, I'd say that it was a lot of work, but a lot of fun!
If nothing else, everyone got good use of their costumes,
and we ended up with some awesome Jack-o-lanterns for Halloween!
