One of the most fun things I did this autumn was hosting a pumpkin party! I love to have people in our home. I thought it would be fun to have people over to eat fall-y treats and decorate pumpkins. However I'm super awkward. It's like the middle school girl who fears rejection rears her acne-ridden head. I'm always afraid to invite people to things, thinking they'll think it's lame, or think I'm lame. I told my sister Jordan about my idea. Jordan is the socially adept one of the family. She posted a Facebook event and we got that party started. We decided to make it a sister party and Jordan, my sister Rachel and I all invited friends. Without my sisters pushing me, I probably would have never been brave enough to host the party. Now, I'm so glad I did. Jordan baked a bunch of goodies and I decorated and bought craft supplies for sprucing up our pumpkins.
Decorating supplies included:
chalkboard paint and chalk
gold glitter (the herpes of craft supplies)
modpodge and book paper
gold paint
white paint
Food consumed:
Chex Mix (we made it ourselves we swear)
caramel apples
pumpkin cheesecake cupcakes
chocolate chip cookies
apple cider
pumpkin pie hot chocolate
It was so fun enjoying some fall action with friends! How are you celebrating the season? Are you like me and holding the ho-ho-ho, for now?
