Johnson/Mather Family Halloween Party

It is a family tradition to have a Halloween party the Saturday before Halloween every year with Kelly's family. It's one occasion that I really look forward to. I know that we always have a great time with lots of laughter, and lets be honest... who doesn't love dressing up!!


This year was no different. The food was outrageous, and delicious as always. Sharee is an excellent cook, and always makes the food really fun.



Landon made himself right at home with the bowl of nacho cheese. Dipping and licking the same chip over and over again, until he realized there was a spoon.

For those who didn't come in costumes one was created for them. The kids had a great time creating them, and I must say the horns on Neil were a great addition.
Sharee (Grandma Johnson) should have known better! It was her party and rules... then again, maybe she was looking forward to the kids creating her costume.


Dave also got to have his costume created for him. Andrea made sure to include the name of Dave's rival business across his forehead. Maybe next time he'll think twice about not coming in a costume.

Neil (Grandpa Johnson) was another lucky family member that had his costume created for him. The boys made sure to show his Ute pride... this was especially great, because he's not a Ute fan. He's BYU all the way. I personally loved this! Go Utes!!!

Not only did he get branded with the U, he also grew some unexpected horns. Corey made sure to make them perfect. It's amazing how life like they looked.
These were some other family members who came in costume. Unfortunately I didn't get pictures of everyone, but here are a few.
Carter the cowboy with his great puppy
Landon as a cowboy, ready to beat off the bad guys with his PVC pipe
Kim & Jason as Little Red Riding Hood and The Big Bad Wolf
Ryan was a fantastic Army Man... I wouldn't have messed with him!
Kris Anne was a beautiful Princess
My favorite event of the night was, and is always, the doughnut eating contest! Who doesn't love eating a doughnut hanging from a string. Especially when you can't touch it. If you haven't tried it, you should. It's very fun, and funny to watch.

Thanks everyone for making the evening so much fun. We love you all!

Dang, that party looked like a blast! I love the doughnut game, it is one of my favorites. Isn't Halloween the BEST holiday ever? (PS You all make a darling cowboy family.)

Ha! This post was more enjoyable than you could possibly know! I e-mailed the Utes picture of Neil to all three of Marty's accounts. He freaked out! I just couldn't quite convince Marty that Kelly had converted Neil though. Marty was like, "No, look how MAD my dad is about it!" But there is still much more fun to come. I put that pic as the wallpaper on our desktop, and I think I'll have to print a copy...or 20. :)
