Throwing halloween parties is a family habit that started 2 years again when I was already blogging. This is perfect for me, since I have the opportunity to gather all my memories in one place. Except for last year when I was already going through a no-photos-please phase where my pics are so few. That’s ok I will make up this year. <\/p>\n

Halloween is a tradition that is celebrated the last day of October each year. More info can be found here<\/a>. <\/p>\n

In Greece we do not have such tradition, however the last couple of years, we do have several halloween dress up parties and halloween items (I suppose for the fun of it). This is how we see it. As a chance to dress up and to meet up with family and friends. So last Saturday we had so much fun with (some) of our close family and Penelope’s small cousins. The kids played, we all ate together and of course we had a pi\u00f1ata. <\/p>\n

The invitation was from this wonderful (recently found) site. <\/a>We chose that one. You can edit text from the site itself, I edited mine on Photoshop.<\/p>\n

\"Halloween<\/a>So since we had sent the invitation, all we had to do is plan, bake, cook and decorate. The weather was so warm than it allowed us outdoor eating which was great since we were 10 adults, 10 kids and 1 baby. Our deco highlights were this door banner (bought it from here<\/a>): <\/p>\n

\"halloween<\/a>All over our living room there were spiders, ghosts and pumpkins: The trick or treat banner can be found here: <\/a><\/p>\n

\"halloween<\/a>The spider web was bought from here<\/a>:  <\/a>\"halloween<\/a><\/p>\n

The pi\u00f1ata was the same as last year’s ( I try to keep as much of the deco in order to reuse it over and over again). I got it there.<\/a> Originally was opened up with trings, so I refilled it, glue it back on and we hit it with the bat to open again. Bye bye pi\u00f1ata. <\/p>\n

Party favours were bought form a local multistage (Jumbo) were nowadays hold a large variety of halloween party items. This is where I got the cute ghost rings that were given to the mothers of the party: <\/p>\n

Yiannis applied his pumpkin carving abilities that are truly remarkable ( I have to make a video of this one at some point): <\/p>\n

And the black velvet cake was this year addition to the candy bar we had for our guests. The marshmallows were bought from Lidl<\/a> and the cookies were baked with this recipe. <\/a>At this point I have to mention that the sugar paste deco was made entirely by Penelope ( proud mommy). <\/p>\n

\"halloween<\/a> \"halloween<\/a> \"halloween<\/a> \"halloween<\/a>The black velvet cake was pinned long ago and that was the perfect opportunity to try it out. And I was not disappointed. Hope you try it out for yourself soon and… Happy Halloween! <\/p>\n
