Halloween 2013

We hosted our first of many Halloween Parties (at someone else's house because we don't have a place where anyone can sit... yet).  We prepared Minute to Win It games as entertainment and everyone brought a treat to share.

Here is how it went down.  As guests came in, we seperated them into four teams (each given a spider ring in a different color) and got a picture of each couple.  Eating should always be a first priority so we helped ourselves to the yummy food.  Minute to Win It games was next on the agenda.  I was the MCish, more like the commander, to introduce games.  Aaron and Chris prepared materials for each game.  Heather made and operated the blueprint and timer dvd (so awesome!).  The winning team got a candy prize.  After playing all the games, we had one final competition to choose best costume.  The evening ended with more treats and conversation.  It was a blast!

Hanky Panky (a favorite)
