Tricks and Treats

HAPPY NOVEMBER! 
 I love Halloween because to me it symbolizes the beginning of the holiday season. AND I LOVE THE HOLIDAYS!!! This year was so much fun because I made a bunch of tasty halloween snacks and I was able to celebrate the holiday with so many different people. 
 On Thursday I baked pumpkin chocolate chip cookies to take with me to Santa Barbara

On Friday I drove to Santa Barbara and reunited with soooo many different friends.

On Saturday I went with my boyfriend and some friends to Hollywood where we went to the vampire party at Boulevard 3. The party was sold out and the bouncer was sending people away at the door, but, somehow, my friends and I were able to get in a friend who did not even have a ticket. Amazing.

And Halloween night was family night. I had dinner with my sister, mom, aunt, cousins, brother, and nephews and just spent the evening hanging out with everybody. My sister and I wanted to contribute to the little dinner party so we made a hot caramelized onion dip and Ina Garten's chocolate cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. Oh and we brought pumpkin & raspberry beer :)
 
My nephew Gabriel won two costume awards at school for being LMFAO's shufflebot! 

One of his uncles made his RIDICULOUSLY cool helmet. Here is a video of him shuffling: 
I hope everyone else had a great Halloween!
