Hallowwweeeennn!

....Halloween! :D

The word itself makes me SUPER excited!

Even though I am absolutely terrified of Spiders, Cobwebs, Plastic Bats & Spiders, Trick or Treaters and Ghosts...

I LOVE the Spirits, (as in high spirits - not ghosts or drinks : / ) Laughter, Parties, Food, Decorations, Family Gatherings, Dressing up, Pumpkins, Watching Nightmare Before Christmas, Keeping the Cat Calm, Cake making, Autumn Leaves Falling and Misty Dark Cosy Nights! X3

It's tradition for us to have a party every year because as a family, we love Halloween. In the 'old days', our parties were fairly big - always at our house which is fairly small. Mine and my sister (Gemma)'s friends would come round and we'd have a spooktacular night!
In the last few years though, the Halloween spirit in general seems to have died a little bit, year by year :( Booo! (No I'm not trying to make you jump).

So - as Halloween is only 8 days away - I thought I would share some of our pictures with you to get your all in the Halloween Spirit! :D

I hope you like them! If you are also a #HalloweenLover, leave some comments telling me what you love about Halloween and what your traditions are! I would love to know :)
