Flour and Sugar and Cocoa oh my!!! Ward Canning Party – Nov. 2009!

If you missed the canning party this time around, you missed a lot of fun!  It was wild and crazy as always.  You’ll love some of the pictures below!  Let’s just say some of the kids had a really good time canning flour……and Cason had fun with the leftover flour on the table!  The Hot Cocoa smelled divine and the breaking the spaghetti was a pain but we finished!  We canned nearly 700 cans this time and had no major errors or snafus!  Thanks to everyone who participated and helped…from picking up the food and the cans, to organizing and wiping out the cans to canning all the food and labeling everything!  We had so many awesome people over here!  What a great ward we have!  If you missed it, start saving your pennies! We hope to see you next time! :)

 

Trick or Treat!

I love that Halloween was on a Saturday this year!  It made it so much easier to get ready!  We even got to eat at the Spaghetti Factory for a late lunch/early dinner and the kids ate free because they wore their costumes! Yummy!

This year Channing was a ninja, Cameron was Harry Potter and Cason was a Jedi.  The weather was perfect for trick-or-treating and after going to 2 neighborhoods we had tons of candy!  Cason gave up early this year and he was done after 45 min.  So he stayed with Bob while I took Channing, Cameron and McKay Osborne to another neighborhood that had more people giving out candy than ours.  We carved 3 pumpkins this year.  The Jack Skellington one was the one that won 1st place at the ward party Friday night.  I carved Sally and Zero on Sat.  I think they turned out pretty good.

        

Ward Halloween Party

The ward Halloween party was a big hit as usual!  The food was great, the games were fun, the rooms were decorated unbelievably awesome and I won the best jack-o-lantern contest! :)   Bob almost won the pumpkin pie eating contest, but after eating 6 pieces he lost by 1 second!  It was close though!  Look at some of the pictures! you might see yourself!
