Ward Party

Last Saturday we had a ward party. I am on the commitee so alot of my work, and by defalt, Chads help went into making the night memorable and fun. Isnt it so true that your spouse holds your calling just as much as you do?
Anyway, we had a high school reunion night. We asked for people to dress up in their decade and to bring memorabilia. We had a great response. People brought yearbooks, letterman jackets, cheerleader outfits and some pretty "interesting" photos.
Quick shout out to Heidi for the idea and info!

They were both football players at Westwood


At the beginning of the night we had everyone play a "bingo" game of high school facts. They had to go around the room and find people that could sign in the spaces until it was full. I signed a lot of "my high school mascot was a jackrabbit".

We also created a photo - op right when they came into the building. It was a last minute addition to our activity - but we just had to have a prom-like photo session, and as you can see we had some great moments :)


Our main activity was a hallarious game of Family Fued. Chad found an awesome program online that looked exactly like the show. We had it projected onto a huge screen and it worked really well. The two teams: Winners, and KYT. Unfortunately, the Winners were not that and the KYT team did just that :)

Chad was the host while I manned the computer for the game. He did great. The room was laughing the entire time.


It was a friendly game, but there were a few times that the judges had to pull rank... and by judges I mean me and our unborn child.

This is right before they won the bonus round. Check out the screen - seriously it is exactly like the game... music and all.
If you are looking for a great ward activity then this is a winner! We supplied subs and rootbeer floats. We had so many people show up that we had to go back to Ned's for more sandwiches. That is a huge sucess in an activity committee member's book.

Woohoo! So glad it was a hit! I'm seriously jealous of that program Chad found online! Very cool.

We thought about doing a backdrop like that, but opted for a DJ instead...but I guess you know that! Hopefully we can share the love of our calling in the future. :)
