I know this is a little later than Halloween but I just got home from Richmond, VA where I was doing some new job training. Some may or may not know that Halloween is my absolute favorite Holiday of the year. I brought it up back in August that I thought it would be fun to go crazy with it this year. We already had the costumes from a few years back so we decided to splurge and get some decorations and go nuts with the front of our house. Here are the final photos.

It was a blast for us and the kids and parents LOVED IT! I think the parents enjoyed it more than the kids. The parents kept asking for photos of the kids with us. My wife has a great eye for detail so some of the things you may or may not notice is a can of paint and paint brush on the ground near the white roses. May be in the night version and not the day time version because I put it out just as the kids started showing up. There is also tiny table near the sidewalk up to the door that has a silver key and a small bottle that says "drink me".
We also had a cooler on the neighbors driveway with beer and cider for the adults. After the kids stopped coming we walked across the road to our neighbor who had a firepit going and we drank until around 10. It was quite the night. Don't know if we can do it again next year as it was quite a bit to get it all set up the day of Halloween but who knows. Maybe we can get the neighbors in to it and make the scenes larger next year.

Wow, you really did go all-out! Looks great, Dan. I'm sure it was a memorable Halloween for kids and parents alike, and you'll probably be the "best house for Trick-or-Treating" in your neighborhood for a long time.
