This year Ryan and I hosted our "3rd Annual" Couples Halloween Party, and party we did! We had so much fun, I hope everyone there had as much fun as I did. The costumes this year were FABULOUS, it was so fun to see what everyone came up with...

Joe & Julianne, The "F Dude" and 80's chick, (walkman included)

Dustin & Kathryn, Donald Trump and Miss USA

Angie & Daron, The Renaissance Queen & King, NOT the Burger King guy!

Brooke & Jona, The Birthday girl and her pinata! - Winners of "Most Creative" & "Funniest"!

Devin & Staci D., those guys we hope we don't turn into in a few years! - 2nd Place for "Most Creative" & "Funniest"!

Dustin & Staci S., Danny & Sandy from Grease (sorry, you just can't appreciate Dustin's hair in the dark!)

Jon & April, Arwen & Aragorn, from Lord of the Rings. I was thoroughly impressed with April's creativity, loved the ears girl! - Runners up for "Best Couple" Costume

Megan & Jeremy, A very nice witch, and.....oh ya, that guy who hangs out at the casino that
thinks he's a cowboy

Andrea & Derrick, Indian & Cowboy (AKA Pocahontas & Tom Selleck) - Derrick won "Best All Around", no one could resist that mustache!

Brad & Jana, smokin' hot in their 20's ensemble - Winners of "Best Couple" Costumes

Lyndsi & Darrin, Elmo & Ernie

Dustin & Kendra, Pirates!
We all enjoyed a delicious dinner of soups, salad and scrumptious desserts. I wish I'd gotten a picture of the desserts, Jana's was so pretty and Angie's was so gross. Thanks to everyone who brought such delicious food to share.


After dinner and costume contest it was on to the games! My fabulous friends, Kathryn and Staci, stepped up to help me with the games this year, they did such a good job I think they may have gotten themselves a permanent job. We did "minute to win it" games, which I am pretty sure were designed solely to entertain those watching...

This game the participants had to try to knock their orange into the hoola hoop with their banana...it had been awhile since I'd laughed that hard!


It was quite a battle, but in the end proved to be too difficult to actually accomplish, but what a laugh we had watching them try!

Darrin and Derrick gearing up for their game

In this game the participents had to try to knock candy pumkpkins off of cans with their tennis balls, as you can tell this one was a little scary...

The "candy elevator" was quite a competition as well, April took the victory!
The winners of each game went on to compete in the final challenge- being the first to move all of your cotton balls from one bowl to the other using only your nose and a little Vaseline!


All of the All Starts were great competitors and it really came down to the wire, Jeremy beat April by a hair!

The All Stars: April, Derrick, Brad, Devin, Jon, and the Champion of the night, Jeremy!
Thanks to all our great friends for making it such a fun night! Good food, good friends, and loads of laughs made for a night to remember!
