I know, I know--I take so long to post!! Well be happy I do it at all :) So, as previously mentioned I threw Levi and Mandee and wedding shower on All Hallows Day. I was fantastic. I of course owe it all to Katie and Jamino showing up to help. From the time they arrived they immediately went to work finishing the decorating, preparing food and in general, keeping me nice and calm. We sent the invitations to 90 head-of-households or individuals+"guest" and a whopping 5 people RSVP'd so I really had no idea how to plan for the party. We moved all the furniture out so there was lots of room and then decorated from third floor down to basement. In all we had about 40 some people trickle through the house all evening. It was funny because one group would come visit, leave and then another group would come--it was great. So here are a ton of pictures--as usual!
Me, Levi and Katie at the start of the night
We had lit candles everywhere, I don't think the house had ever seen a bigger fire hazard but it all looks amazing--if I do say so myself!
Mountains of FOOD, I ordered 4 trays of croissant sandwiches, 4 trays of deli meats and cheese, and three cakes. We had 15 lbs. of fresh veggies (broccoli, carrots, snap peas, grape tomatoes, and small sweet peppers) 5 lbs of ranch dip, 2 large trays of shrimp (which I forgot to thaw and people still ate frozen--GROSS), 5 lbs of tootsie rolls, 3.5 lbs of sweetish fish, 7 lbs of skittles and mike and ike and 5 lbs of Boston baked beans. Then Katie made 6 dozen eggs worth of deviled eyes, Nickie brought two large cookie sheets worth of cucumber sandwiches, Selina brought two cookies worth of mint Brownies, Mandee made 2 seven layer dips with chips and Barb Gold brought a giant cooler/thermos of drink mix. When I went to pickup the ordered food they had their Halloween cakes on sale so of course I got 2 more. The list goes on but suffice it to say we had enough food to feed a small army! Thanks to all those who brought their specialities and thanks for all those who helped us eat it all!
Levi and Mandee got some great gifts--after all it was a shower so we had to include gift opening! Here they are opening the DeWalt drill that Levi's coworkers got them-YEA!
We had some creative costumes; Here's Barb, she came as a wallet--specifically Donald Trump's wallet (Jeff came as the Donald). We had football fans, John McCain and Sarah Pallen, both male and female pirates, a nudest on strike,am M&M, a face book page, disco chick and more!
Onlookers during present time.
The Liberty Lake Crowd
The upstairs dressed up as a mid evil castle and the downstairs decided to be a graveyard
Harley of course came as himself--a naughty little devil
And the band played all night long
Jamino flew in Friday (Halloween) afternoon and since we weren't sure he was gonna make it home before the party we didn't have a costume for him so he decided to dress up as a Mexican. I missed it but I'm told that he even did a little dance!
Mandee and Levi went all out on their costumes! Super cute couple that they are.
We even took the closet doors and made additional scenes
Thanks to all who came, helped, loaned me things and accepted assignments for this party without which it wouldn't have been so great!
