Trunk or Treat

Or class room trick or treat. Tonight was our branch's Halloween party. I made a LOT of clam chowder for the potluck before hand and some of it went, but we still have enough to bring a very full pot to a small get- together tomorrow night. I don't have time to edit the pictures how I'd like because I have to prepare a lesson for tomorrow so here they are...


Here I am making the clam chowder. It's a good thing that Mike had this enormous pot to steam crabs in. It was a little over half full when it was all put together... and yes, we put that many cans of crabs in it.

One of the tricks to this recipe is that you HAVE to stir it constantly so that it doesn't settle and burn the bottom, so I was whisking this for about 20 minutes until it started to boil, then hefted those two big pots of veggies into it. It was a hit, both with Mike and the branch, so I will be making this again, just not on such a large scale. We did the recipe x5. I think I want to copy our friends the Allen's and make this for each Halloween. It's very fall fitting and is mmm mmm gooood.


Here's Sister Dogbe (pronounced Du-bee) as a pioneer. She is simple hilarious. She teaches primary so before kids could get any candy from her they had to sit and listen to her tell her story of being from Nauvoo and being run out but having faith to over come her trials. She is awesome.

Here are about half of the kids. The others ran off before I could take the picture. They are so cute.

These are Termain's kids. The oldest girl has a singing solo in the primary program tomorrow and she is GOOD! They have all memorized their lines and are great kids.



This is our friends daughter Cameron. She is so cute and giggles so much that this is an amazing shot to have gotten because she can't keep a straight face for the camera.

Here's Mike and I at our door. We didn't do much except stretch some spider web in the room a bit.


These are my Young Women and a few of their friends.


They are such great girls and are so much fun.



We are a small branch but we had a great turnout tonight. We should have candy at parties more often! ;)
