Our cousin Katie had the great idea to be from the 50's this halloween with all 3 of our families (Me, Josh and the kids. Katie, Russel and their 3 kids, and Lisa, Ben and their son-group picture coming soon)
The guys were "greasers" and the girls all wore poodle skirts (katie made the 3 little girls' ones, and they are ADORABLE!)
Our ward did a "trunk or treat" the night before halloween and i had the idea of decorating our trunk like a 50's diner and serving rootbeer floats instead of passing out candy...

Serving our rootbeer floats...Katie(in yellow) and I scooped, Lisa (in maroon) filled with rootbeer and stuck a straw in...The line was never ending, i hardly got a chance to look up at who i was serving! It was so fun and crazy, we all did what we could during the crazy moments, Katie and I ended up pooring rootbeer and scooping while Lisa pleased the customers, cleaned up our messes, fetched more cups etc.
We had 3 gallon buckets of icecream and 21 liters of rootbeer! The icecream ran out after about 200 people so we turned it into a "soda bar" and served rootbeer...We had a BLAST!

Our cherished Juke Box...we worked on this bad boy for over 4 hours!
It took a LOT of glitter, some glue, 3brains and a lot of LAUGHS!
Lisa had such a good idea to play with the titles of the song choices on the juke box to go with our kids' names...
- Nathan Angel
- Wake up Little Mady
- Morgan Sue
- Luke Potion #9
- Rockin' Riley
- Braden B. Goode
i LOVE these girls
I knew you would get this up before me!! We had soo much fun and you got some really cute pictures there!
ReplyDeletehow fun! what a good idea, i bet your trunk was the talk of the lot with those floats.
ReplyDeleteHow fun! and what a cute idea. Jocie doesn't take pictures either and if she does its a half awkward smile :) Feel like we've gotten close just from blogging. Funny.
ReplyDeleteThis was the cutest idea! You have such a fun and creative family. I just love the picture of you, Katie and Lisa together. Katie did a great job with the skirts!
ReplyDeleteOk seriously SO CUTE!!!! What a fun Trunk Or Treat!!! Love that you were all 50's people too, what a great idea! You all look great and the root beer idea was PERFECT!!!
ReplyDeleteThis was an awesome idea! You guys look great! :) Wish we couldve done it with you! Glad you had fun!
ReplyDeleteYes I do indeed have a twitter. Sorry it asks you everytime. I think I might delete it off my blog so it doesn't do that.
ReplyDeleteIf this is not the cutest thing then I don't know what is! Such a cute idea! All the costumes are adorable. You rock with the rootbeer floats! And don't you just hate the anti picture taking phases?! Ugh! No fun! Still a cute girl though, and Braden is rockin the converse!
ReplyDeleteThat was such a cute idea! I wish I would've gotten a float :)
