Party Time

Cinderella making an appearance as a witch.


All of our guests were able to contribute to the brew, with bat eyes, (blueberries) Frankenstein tongues, (fruit by the foot), vampire teeth, (tips of candy corn) a few other things but the favorite being witch's breath (dried ice, I couldn't have planned it better if tried, I picked the ice up with metal tongs and it made a great screaming hissing sound.)

We only do a birthday party with friends every other year and this was a party year for

Ms. Payton. She chose a Halloween theme. We played dress the witch, (a spin off of pin the tail on the donkey, thanks to my cricut machine) made a fabulous witches brew, (thank you Shannon Taylor for that idea it was as great as you said it would be) ate ribs, (string cheese), and worms (hot dogs sliced into 8th's then boiled curly). We Opened presents, wow we have a lot of littlest, Polly's, pet shops, and pretty pony's. Payton is in heaven, these are her very favorite things and she plays with them all the time. Even Cinderella made an appearance dressed for Halloween like a witch. Every one seemed to have fun, and Mark and I were glad it was over.

Shortly after the party Mark was off to a stake priesthood meeting. Later we had our favorite babysitter come, Kayla Stinebaugh and Mark and I attended the adult session of stake conference with Elder R Bruce Merrell of the 70. Following that we went out to a late dinner with our second councilor and his wife. Here is a shout out to our good "buddy"! Today we attended Stake Conference which of course was very nice, two sisters from our ward spoke today and last night one of our sisters spoke, so the Paradise Ridge Ward was well represented.

All and all a great weekend, it's 2:45pm and things are quiet....for now.
