Jake has been beyond excited for his birthday (he's been more or less counting down since Christmas). He had huge ideas and plans scripted out in his mind. I was a bit worried it wouldn't pan out the way he'd dreamed, but he had a great day.
His party was a Notebook of Doom party, a book series I guarantee none of his friends have even heard of, let alone read. But luckily the series is mostly about defeating different monsters, and that is a language most seven-year-olds speak.
For his cake he asked for donuts with "night crawlers" (aka huge worms). Easiest "cake" ever.
I made this beanbag toss cut out back before I even had kids, when I was in Young Women's and we were in charge of games for the ward Halloween party. I can't even count how many times I've used it since! We also had a monster piñata, pin the eyes on the three-eyed-glump (you've never heard of one?! Read the books!), a guess the ghost game (which friend was under the sheet), a keep-the-monster-balloons-off-the-ground game, and a spooky craft. It was so much fun, and even Jake's high expectaions were met.
