FAMILY HALLOWEEN PARTY 2011

Saturday Night Oct 29, 2011 we gathered at Aunt Karen's house for our annual Halloween Party. It was a perfect night to sit out in the yard.

We started out with traditional Halloween food, Hot Dogs, expertly grilled by Jake, Chili and Pulled Pork.

After dinner there were games for the kids set up in the yard. The kids young and old were dressed in their Halloween finery.

Friday night Oct 28 The Tolleson Ward held its annual Trunk or Treat. Some Ward members went all out with decorating their cars.

There were games for the children, cupcakes, cotton candy and hot dogs cooked on the grill. As well as the traditional Halloween candy given out at the cars.

After the Demonstration we went back to our craft projects.

I made memory boards.

This is the sample board.

We started out by painting the boards. The next step was to modge podge a piece of scrap booking paper to the board.

We added the Memories vinyl and David O. attached the tin plate to the front.
The last step was to cut the flower petals out.

The finished product minus the flowers, which are still waiting to be completed.

The flowers will look like these when they are made.

It was a fun day, and nice to have the opportunity to visit with the Sisters in the Ward.
