Care Bear Stare!

Halloween is one of our favorite holidays and this year we did what has become our CA Halloween tradition.  We dressed in costumes and hung out at our neighborhood's block party before heading home to greet trick-or-treaters while enjoying a Halloween themed meal.

This year we decided to be Grumpy Bear and Cheer Bear from The Care Bears.

I decided to make our costumes using some fabric and yarn I had around the house.

I even made fluffy little tails for us (which Norman enjoyed immensely.)

Here we are as Care Bears!

And here are just a few shots of this year's eyeball themed dinner. For the record, we had Dark and Stormy Death Punch, Spooky Stuffed Mushroom Eyeballs,

Halloween Spaghetti (though I used a different recipe for the Bolognese), and Creamy Pumpkin Caramel Panna Cotta (to which I added Marshmallow Fluff + chocolate chip eyeball decorations.)

Hope everyone had an amazing Halloween!
