Brewer Family Minute to Win it Halloween Party

My sister Rachelle and I had the idea to do a Minute to Win it Halloween Party. We spent weeks planning and getting it ready it was SO much fun. I think everyone was a little skeptical, thinking they would play the games just to "humor" us. But they were all surprised with how much fun it was. The best part was that Ryon and Jana came down from Idaho that night bc they were taking their family to Mexico and leaving from the SLC airport early the next morning. We started the night off in the basement with dinner...chili served from a pumpkin along with all the creepy appetizers everyone brought. We had a fun backdrop set up to take pictures.

Then we went upstairs where all the games were. We had 4 rooms, each with 3 games. Every time we rotated rooms we were with different people so it was fun to have a chance to see everyone try these fun games. Here are a few that we did. Nate is trying to bounce a ping pong ball onto a piece of bread covered in peanut butter. In this room you also had to try and stack 3 golf balls on top of each other...not so easy.
 In the kitchen one of the games was Drop, Sink, Clink. You had 10 pennies you dropped into the water, trying to get them into different dishes with different point values. I love Josh's face in this picture...he didn't look too happy.
 Here Ali is trying to blow bubbles across the room before they pop.
 Josh and Nate are "bowling" using golf balls they have to drop through empty wrapping paper rolls. We had 3 markers set up that they had to try and knock down.
 Rachelle made these yummy witch pudding cups.
Overall, it was a very enjoyable evening. Since there are so many kids, the adults rarely get to play games with each other. So this was perfect since the kids were pretty entertained with everything going on. Thanks everyone for coming!
