Halloween fell on a Sunday this year so many of us attended parties on Saturday the 30th instead. Our friends Shayanna and Steven Barclay invited us for great food, fun and games at their place here in Rexburg and we had a great time!
Chris and Sadie Freeman came (Sadie is due with their first child in January of 2011) and were festive in fall colors.
John and Michelle came in costume (John as a mad scientist and Michelle as a tie rack). Michelle won the guessing game of how many M & Ms were in a mason jar (there were 900 and she guessed 1200 and came closest).
Steven and Shayanna were in costume as a Sheriff and Hillbilly (so cute!)
We played several games including Mafia and a new one neither John or I had played before called Spoons.

It's sort of like musical chairs but with spoons instead. There's one less spoon in the middle than how many people are playing and you get dealt cards and you try to get a 4 of a kind, then you grab a spoon. The one who doesn't grab a spoon looses. (Michelle was out in the second round!)
This is a video of everyone playing Spoons (minus Chris and Michelle) to kind of give you an idea of how it goes... (John lost as you can tell at the end his reaction!)
Spoons is the best! I can't believe you two had not played before. We use to play "ultimate spoons" all the time for FHE at BYU-I - rather than having the spoons in a circle you have to put them in the other room or behind a couch or some sort of obstacle. Once my cousins thought it would be fun to put them in the hot tub...
