Holiday Themed Bentos

Here are my attempts at Holiday themed bentos. To tell you the truth, Halloween of 2010 could quite possibly be the reason why I make bentos. I packed bentos for Bubs when he went to an international preschool in Okinawa, Japan. But it wasn't quite to the stature they are at now. Usually it was just leftovers thrown into a small box and made easy for him to eat. Then he started kindergarten here in Montana and Halloween rolled around. I thought to myself, "Self, why don't you make fun sandwiches for the kid for the week of Halloween?" So I did...and my best friend, Kris, had a lot to do with it. She would attempt to make sandwiches at home in NC, and text me pictures of them and give me ideas. But we will not talk about her witch hat sandwich because it was terrible! Anyway, I digress.

Without further ado...
