I'm including this photo of the gym, pre-party, for my mom, who brainstormed and shopped with me the week before the carnival. (Thanks for agreeing with me on the tablecloths.)
This photo is for me, to remind me of the seemingly endless crush of people lined up for hot dogs and chili.
This one's for Elder Ryan Dixon (Croatian missionary). I thought he'd get a kick out of these missionaries' "costumes." The Elders were the judges for our chili cook-off.
Garry brought the boys in their costumed glory: a turtle, a ninja, and a transformer.
Tyler's favorite carnival game was "dangling donuts." He got smeared with chocolate but had tons of fun!
This is a completely UNflattering photo of me (I promise I'm not showing yet...or least not as much as those overalls suggest), but it's such a fun snapshot of Colleen and Kendra (just two of my buddies here) that I had to include it!Now I need to start planning the ward Christmas party...if any of you, fair readers, have a suggestion, please let me know! I need ideas for the menu and a kid-friendly program for starters!

looks like fun! i missed our ward's party, i'm afraid, this year, i think you look so cute with your friends.
Wow. You are going to be the activity chairperson for eternity if you keep this up. Looks like fun.
My most memorable was Christmas parties were when I was young. Each family performed a musical number, or something holiday related. For instance my aunt and uncle made up words to the 12 days of Christmas and sang it. Santa made an appearance and we all received a brown paper bag with a popcorn ball, hard tack candy and a tangerine.
Happy Holidays!
Yea for what looks like a fabulous party. Way to go girl! All in your pregnant pukiness, go you!
The Grinch and such the theme for ours last year. They had candy guessing jars, musical numbers and all things Whoville related. It was the best one I've ever been to. They used red and that limey green that is so Grinchy. I can't remember what else they did at this moment, but I'll let you know when I think of things - in case this one sounds good - Oh, they also had little packets with Grinch coloring and activity pages for the kids to color while the grown-ups listened to the program.
