Halloween and Festivities

Happy Halloween!!! 

Captain Hook, Peter Pan, Creepy Inmate (?), The Joker

Our lovely pumpkins, along with all the cool free gourds we got with them!

Some serious carvers. 

Nothing too scary for us this year!

Don't forget to roast your pumpkin seeds! Yum!

 On another evening, we decided to make our own cheese. It's long been on our list of to-do's. 

Chris' parents gifted us with this mozzarella kit last Christmas. 

Oh my goodness! The whey separated! It's working!!!

 Carefully separating the curds from the whey. 

Stretching the cheese! We were so excited it worked! Thanks Steve and MaryAnn!

 Somewhere in the last 10 days, we finally received the photos from our wedding! Our photographer is so sweet and included a surprise wedding album. Awesome :D

 We decided to host a build-your-own-pizza party for our friends, in honor of Alex whose birthday was coming up. Liz made up the pizza crusts a few days before and froze them. 

 Love the colors that fall festivities bring! Our Happy Birthday sign made from felt.  Wish it was homemade...just Target. 

 Alex getting his pizza prepared. He introduced us to banana peppers and salami as indispensable pizza toppings! 

 Hugo seems pleased with his pizza creation :)

Slicing the "Chris Supreme". People said it was the best pizza they ever had. Whether or not that's true, we had a great time and can't wait for the next pizza party. 

Come visit us and we'll throw one in YOUR honor!
