Ok it’s official : every time we plan an event either it is a party or just a small gathering it has to make the perfect storm. This time was no exception to our little rule. We had a small Halloween party for the young kids of our family last Saturday. In Athens the weather was just awful. Storm and thunders were about to ruin our plans ! The roads got flooded and I got to watch around 20 thunders striking all over the place (I really hate thunders !) <\/p>\n

Good thing my family is unstoppable ! No storm can stop them from partying ! So our little Halloween celebration was a success. It was the first time we had such a party. Halloween is definitely not part of Greek tradition so we are not used in celebrating this American tradition. Penelope however really loves it she always tells us “trick or treat” each year.<\/p>\n

Eight kids with their parents and a mom going nuts in planning parties… ok nothing could stop me. It’s a shame I don’t have pictures of all of it and most of my shoots are really blurry (probably I was overexcited!) We really had a blast ! I managed to make Oreo cake pops and discovered a super yummy chocolate cupcake recipe. Of course I wanted to make more, but it was ok I think everyone got fed .<\/p>\n

\"halloween-party-pinata-img_5533\"<\/a> \"halloween-party-dsc_0131\"<\/a>I am very proud of us since Yiannis and me managed to make a super cute spider pi\u00f1ata (if it wasn’t for Yiannis I could never manage to pull it through ). Our DIY spider pi\u00f1ata deserves a post of its own. I will post the project asap. The gifts included in the pi\u00f1ata were all bought for our local Tiger<\/a>. They were wrapped in paper bags for each young guest separately to avoid any misunderstandings 😉<\/p>\n

\"img_5560\"<\/a>For the mummies of the group I bought some rubber rings and with creepy eyes also from Tiger <\/p>\n

Our menu was all American : home made burgers, hot dogs mummies and green salad. And a caramel apple sangria and soda for drinks. And a lot of candy. It was not a day for diet last Saturday, that’s for sure. I baked my own bagels the night before the party. The recipe is from co blogger Ermioni and you can find it here (in Greek). <\/a>You must check out the recipe it’s really amazing. For the burgers I used this recipe<\/a>. It makes very tasty and fluffy burgers. I just had to adjust the ingredients for more burgers. The hot dogs mummies and the caramel apple sangria can be found in my Pinterest board here. <\/a><\/p>\n

So this was our mini Halloween party. We really enjoyed it both kids and adults ! Really looking forward to our next one<\/p>\n
