Last night Jason and Holly had us over to their house for a Halloween party of sorts. We decided ahead of time that Ellie was the only human that was to be dressed up since none of us really wanted to spend energy deciding on a costume (yes we are lazy, what can we say?). Joe, Julia and Nick however made us laugh showing up in semi-costumes - well worth it I'd say!
We decided that instead of having poor Holly cook for all of us (who could have done everything because she is supermom, but we decided to give her a break), we would make pizzas. We split up bringing the ingredients and it turned out superbly delicious! We had a barbque chicken and red onion; pepperoni and peppers with fresh oregano; pesto, roasted red peppers and mushrooms; and spinach, feta and tomato. We decided it was best if there were not three dogs wandering about while we cooked, so they were confined to the outside for the beginning of the evening. Kaylinn was very unhappy about this set up and decided to bark at the door for the better part of her seclusion. Ellie, however, decided just to sleep through the whole thing.
While the pizzas were cooking, Holly and Jason prepped Ellie for the big event of the evening. Jason did an amazingly good job of not letting any clues slip as to what her costume was going to be, so we were so excited to see Little Ellie the Lobster!
We finished off the evening with caramel apples, pumpkin ice cream and a viewing of our scary movie of choice: The Shining (which I had actually never seen until last night). It was great fun!
