This is the last Halloween post, I promise! We met up with my moms group friends this afternoon for one last celebration. I made a "Graveyard Dip" (it's basically a 4-layer dip with refried beans, guacamole, salsa and cheese) and tortillas cut and baked to look like tombstones. Robert contributed the "I told you I was sick" epitaph.
I also made caramel corn for the first time. I went with a no corn syrup recipe from Smitten Kitchen and left out the cayenne. The first batch was a complete disaster. I cooked the sugar mixture too long and it ended up smelling like burnt marshmallows. I had to run outside and dump the volcanic mess off our back porch. When you add the baking soda to the boiling caramel it bubbles up all over the place, and even when you take it off the heat it just keeps going crazy. It's quite an exciting cooking process. I also burned my finger on hot caramel but the end results pretty much made it worth it...
Last year's Halloween party at Helenka's was one of our first big group gatherings. I love comparing these yearly pictures.

Two year olds aren't the most cooperative bunch, ha!
I love this sweet picture of Lacy & Connor.
And adorable Miss Kiara.
Did you notice that the kids are in jackets? We had a cold front come through (finally!) and it's supposed to be 46 degrees tonight. Christmas, here we come!
