First Halloween in our new house👻

Marc and I had so much fun Halloween night. Marc ended up working a little late but came home just in time for trick-o-treaters! We didn’t know how many we were going to get so I bought one extra large bag of chocolates. Of course, Marc and I snacked on 1/3 of that bag before Halloween.. oops…

This year is was oddly warm out so Marc decided to smoke us steaks in the garage while I handed out candy. I made us apple cider margaritas 😋

After trick-o-treaters, we came inside and ate our steak dinners while watching Halloween movies…

Such a mindful night 🎃❤️#halloweenathome #halloweenlife #familyhalloween
