Halloween Party

So our branch had the Halloween Party tonight, at it was a ton of fun. Michala Bernal planned it, and she did a GREAT job! Thanks Michala! Any way, By the time that we remembered our camera, costumes were already being shed, at least the most uncomfortable ones. So we didn't get pictures of very many, but the costumes were creative, and so fun!







We also had a chili cookoff for the party, and were asked to come up with good names, so we made the chili recipe from Jamie, at http://jamierobbins.blogspot.com , and we named it "Sleeping Alone Tonight." We were going to just open a few cans of Castlebury Chili, but decided to give this one a try. It was pretty good. We didn't taste it until we got to the party, since I am always afraid of my own cooking!


Here is one of the creative
costumes from
our neighbor,
Will Weigt.
He is a cereal
killer.














Some of the other cute costumes, left to right, Alicia Wood was mama bear, Maddie Chambers Tinkerbell, Chelsea Chambers Wendy, and Craig Chambers Peter Pan or Robin Hood, depending on which child you asked!




We were in charge of the doughnut eating. Not actually eating the doughnuts, but making it difficult for others to eat the doughnuts. President Wilkinson, the branch president, got in on the action too, and drove all of his participants crazy! He kept moving it on them. It was pretty funny! I was much nicer. TO the left is Joyce Karl, a single sister in our branch, and to the right is Clara Cook. What a fun night it was!!



After all of the games we had a trunk or treat. The few things that we had planned for our trunk ended up not working, (that's what we get for buying cheap things) so I made do with what I had. We had some reusable green grocery bags, and several flashlights. So I turned that bags upside down and put them over the flashlights, and it wasn't too bad!




I forgot to put this on yesterday. Mark won the "Most Macho Costume" prize, and a great prize it is!
