Halloween Party

We had our annual Halloween party on October 30th.  We invited a lot of the same people and a few new ones this year.  We had such a good time.  Everybody brought a treat to eat and everybody dressed up.  It was so much fun and it was fun see everyone dressed up.  We even had a costume contest.  There were enough categories everyone won a category.  It was a blast. Warning:  there will be several pictures.

We decorated our outside again this year.

Halloween Costumes

Every year for Halloween, Jon and I do couple costumes. This year we decided to be Woody and Jessie from Toy Story.  I made the costumes.  It took a lot of work and I had a lot of fun working on them.

I was so pleased how they turned out.  We got to wear them a couple of times too.  We wore them at our Ward Halloween party and at our Halloween party we had at our house with friends.

Another Graduation

Saturday June 6th I went to Moses Lake to see my niece Sophie graduate from Wilson Creek High School.  She was so excited.  It's hard to believe she is already graduated.  Time sure flies.  It was fun to see her in her cap and gown.  She had a party afterwards and we had a great time.  She was the Salutatorian.  Congratulations Sophie!  We are so proud of you.

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

We have had some fun decorating for Christmas.  I didn't put as much up this year, but have really enjoyed having up what I do.  After our Paris date Jon and I put up our Christmas tree.

On Saturday December 6th,we took some friends with us to the Journey to Bethlehem that the Seventh-day Adventist church puts on.  It is a live nativity, but you travel through the city of Bethlehem, pay taxes, visit the wise men, see the shepherds when they receive word from the angels about the birth of the savior, and of course you come to the stable where Christ was born.  They bring in live animals and everything.  It is a really cool thing they open to the public every year.  We absolutely loved it, and the Zigens, who we took with us, loved it too.  It sure puts you in the Christmas spirit. 

Last night on Saturday Dec 13 we had a Christmas party with some friends.  We had a potluck dinner, played games and had a gift exchange.  It was such a blast!

I made sure I had all my decorations all ready to go, and set the table for a festive dinner.

We had a great time.  Thanks everyone for coming!  Merry Christmas!
