Just in time for Halloween!!!! Join in the fun with a double play of cute movies! If you are having a Halloween Party or just want to get into the "spirit" of it all... You will love this! We were sent the Dreamworks Party Pack for review and Broxton was so excited. Not only did we receive the movies for review, we also enjoyed the Halloween Pack that was included!!!! We enjoyed: Shrek Candy, Shrek Trick or Treat Bucket, Shrek Hands and Ears and Popcorn. See how cute the candy is? Ha ha! Look at their names! Daddy feeding Broxton the "swamp slugs" with the Shrek Hands! We (the older boys, my parents, Marc and I)love the Shrek movies, so I thought Broxton would like this Halloween take on it...
