The Taylors Halloween Party part 3-Decorations

Russ and I had so much fun planning the decorations. Russ spent a lot of time outside on the entry way which was decked out with a hanging ghoul, spider webs, pumpkins, and tombstones.
And the bloody hands on the front door.......


When you walked in there were vinyl stickers of flying birds about the flyer place and up the hall. Russ has a plotter (aka sticker cutter) at his store, so I got the images for him and he made all of the stickers. Underneath the stairs was the picture of me holding Russ head on a platter (we had a lot of fun a few weeks prior doing a mini photo shoot and taking a whole bunch of halloween photos). We did the stairs and inside entry way with fall leaves.

Some of you might recognize some of these photos of Russ from his graduation cards we did a couple of years ago. We decided to blow them up and make a "costume wall" with Russ in all of his poses. This was right in the entry way when you came in.

And then there were three photos lined up of me running scared with a knife in my hands and fear in my eyes. This was above the couch in the family room. In the DJ room there were three more shots--black and whites of Russ, Baxter and I with flashlights shinning on us looking scared. They turned out really cool.
And we had floating pumpkins in the pool. They decided to have a party of their own and stay in the shallow end instead of floating around the pool, but Heather and Cody did a great job helping us figure out how to get them to float (thanks again guys).

And what is a halloween party night without intense fog? Around 10 pm some of the thickest fog I've seen came galloping in. It gave an awesome ending to a great party!


We had so much fun planning the party! And probably went a little overboard, but hey we're the Taylor's and nothing is ever normal about us........
