Kaitlyn made Elli a cute Boo Basket for Halloween!

The Boo Basket had a "Town Scare Haunted Village" cookie house kit, Halloween stickers, candy corn piñata, Hershey bar pencil pouch, and an orange stocking hat!

Elli was Rey from Star Wars and Marshmallow was an Ewok from Star Wars!

Pictures taken Oct. 28 ~

We had a Halloween Party with Allison and her parents from church. We had BBQ and played games. Brady came over too!

Elli was Rey from Star Wars, Marshmallow was an Ewok, and Allison was a scarecrow!

We played The Bible is Funny card game - the party game of hilarious pairings for verses out of context.

We also played some Jackbox games.

Blueberry ("BOO-berry") Pretzel Delight.

Here is a link to the recipe. I used 1 1/2 cups crushed gluten-free pretzels and blueberry pie filling.
