Celebrating Halloween!

amomentwithfranca · 2 November 2015 · 37 Comments

This Saturday that passed was Halloween and we were off to spend the weekend at the in laws!! We had a great time there, specially the girls that love spending time with their grandparents and the rest of the family. We had so much fun celebrating Halloween!!

Nick is those kind of guys that is a great DIY kind of person so as long as you give him some instructions he can do anything!! So for Halloween he decided that he wanted to carve a pumpkin with a ghost drawing on it. We filmed it while he was doing this and the results where fantastic!!

We had a great firework display by Grandpa and some incredible cupcakes decorated by amazing Halloween toppings done by Bella and Aunty Emma who is super talented!!

Anyway, no more talking and more watching!! Please see below the video:

I hope you like the video. I thought Nick did a pretty good job with this pumpkin. What do you think?

Thanks for stopping by,

Love you all ❤️

    Your girls are so goorgeous and your husband is such a good sport, cutting the pumpkin on camera! He did a fab job. I used a template for the fiirst time this year and was really impressed with the end result but it was no where near as complicated as your version. Love the cakes and glad you had a lovely time. II really like your video too. Thank you for linking to #findtribe

    Those cupcakes look amazing!!!!!! Well done Bella. And well done to Nick for the pumpkin, it looks so good! Sienna looks adorable in her little outfit too. Jamie’s the same, he’s great at D.I.Y. but only if you give him instructions. x

    Yay love it when people love Halloween like we do! I’ve never attempted to carve a pumpkin but it looks quite easy here. Maybe we should give it a try next year.

    Oh wow, what fabulous Halloween celebrations you had. We also did some pumpkin carving, ours was a bit more basis and ordinary comaored to nicks. He did amazingly. Those cakes looks delicious too! What a wonderful memory you’ve created, thanks for letting us be a part of it! X #KACOLS

    Those cupcakes are so cute! And the pumpkin looks great too 😀 We got out of it all this year because Marianna was really scared of it all. (She’s only 10 months, I know, but I kind of had images of her in a little outfit and that which just wasn’t to be.) When we do start on Halloween activities I can see me going through half a dozen pumpkins trying to create something half decent! 🙂 #KCACOLS

    Very impressive! I have to admit I’ve been a bit bah humbug about Haloween and fireworks lately, but as soon as my daughter is old enough I know I’ll have to embrace it! When you have a light sleeping baby, all the knocking on the door and bang bang of fireworks open up a whole new world of annoyance! Must try harder! #KCACOLS

    Happy Halloween, Bonfire night and Happy Sunday Franca. The pumpkin is amazing, perhaps next year I will be more adventurous, this year I just carved a face. I made tasty soup afterwards though. Love the cupcakes, and great video. You have a lovely family,

    Ha ha this is awesome! How cool did those pumpkins look – Nick did a brilliant job. Loved his vlogging too – I giggled at “Look, googly eyes!” as my daughter loves anything with googly eyes too! I want those cupcakes 🙂 Mim x #KCACOLS

    Great halloween video. Siennas outfit – super cute! I thought Nick did a great job with the pumpkins too, I never realised you could use stensils like that, what a great idea! Nice to watch a video as well as read one of your blog posts, always lovely catching up with your family 🙂 Emily #KCACOLS
