Halloween Party at Our House

Scarecrow, lion, and tinman... oh wait, Steve Young?
This Halloween party turned out to be so much fun and so yummy! Liss and I didn't really know how it would turn out, but it was a blast for me at least. My lips hurt from smiling and laughing so much at the end of the night. *Thanks Liss for taking the pictures!*

After eating three delicious soups in bread bowls, two salads, and homemade rootbeer, we were ready for some games. The one above is a candy jar guessing game. Ben is laughing because he guessed about twice as many as everyone else. (His company does these candy jars for Christmas and we tend to under bid :)

Below is the candle blowing game. You have to see how far away you can be from the candle and still blow it out. I think Ben may have tried too many times, I was worried he was about to pass out. I was laughing so hard when I saw this picture. It got pretty intense :)


The homemade rootbeer turned out so good, and I am a big judge of rootbeer. And dry ice is just cool. What we didn't realize was that the dry ice would melt through one of our bowls, ha.


My favorite game was the donut eating contest.

The ladies kept bumping into each other..

This collage that Liss made is amazing.

We also decorated cupcakes. The little boys (Cohen, Noah, and Troy) were the most excited about it.

This little pea pod (Brightyn) was an angel all evening. Smiling even.

The boys discovered our deck and just ran from one wall to the other for several minutes while we ate. They were such cute little friends!

Here are all the families that came:

Brock, Liss, and Cohen Kitchen : Rodeo Clown, Rodeo Queen, Cowboy

Rich, Noah, and Rachel Poulsen : the ABC's
(Noah performed the ABC's for us!)


Braden, Mandy, and Brightyn Boyer : The Hillbillies and Pea Pod

Steven, Emily, and Steven Covey : Timpview Football Fans ;)
This party made this Halloween pretty memorable!

  2. When we have a child, will we get invited to cool things like this too? (haha)

    BTW, my wife wanted to make sure that you knew that I (Dave) wrote this--not her:)
