Harvest Ho Down 2010

Due to scheduling, this year's party was after Halloween. The theme was a Harvest Ho Down and most people came dressed in their boots, hats, etc. We had good weather, fantastic food, great music, and of course the best company! Thanks to all who came!! It was a great night!

Question for you Party Animals!!

Hey party goers, we have a question for you! We are considering hosting an additional party this year. The idea we are kicking around is "2nd Chance Prom". We're thinking... pitch $$ in for a nice catered dinner and dancing the night away in the spring time. If that sounds like something you'd be interested in leave a comment here. Have fun watching the slideshows. Mary

Crabtree Camera

I took a whoppin 4 pictures with my camera dang it and 2 were of me and mike. How lame is that?? Look at this lovely dance floor Rachelle, Jessica and I put together. Jess and Rachelle spent most of the time on the ladder. Like a ding dong I pulled something in my old back on the first table I picked up. Aging is so annoying.

Our first arrival was the Ghee couple. Their new in the Lakeview Ward and new to the party. Most of the party goers were fashionably late. I admit I was getting worried at 7:00 things were looking sparse. But the next 30 minutes a gaggle of people arrived.. WHEW!

So Mike and I were Bo Peep and a Black Sheep. This hook came in handy for dragging people out on the dance floor.

2008 Halloween Bash Tobler Home

2008 Was another great party held at the Tobler Home (unfortunatly our numbers have outgrown the Crabtree home and I'm not getting a bigger house for a bigger party, LOL). We did experience some gusty winds but as usual the costumes were great, the music was great and the food was great.

2005 Halloween Bash Crabtree Home

This is the first Halloween Bash year. The Crabtree's, Tobler's and Huxfords were sitting around talking about Halloweens past and come to find out the Crabtree's and the Tobler's had hosted parties in the past and we thought we'd give it a go once again. Mary made up some invitations, Rachelle came up with the fun finger idea. And the reactions were great when people found fingers hanging on their door knobs. Bill is a smokin D.J. so the plans were perfect. The Crabtree's had recently moved into their new place which had a big RV parking side yard and stone tile floors, great for a little party.

And what an awesome little party it was. We had 40 people show up! WOW it must have been time for a shin dig in this town because people were cuttin loose and gettin down. We had SO much fun!! We also handed out Golden Finger Awards for best costumes.
Best Female - Brandy Shamo as Super Mom
Funniest - Troy Cook as RupRex
Best Couple - Debbie and Charlie Williams as Sisters of the Cloth
Best Male - Mike Bird as Elvis

We decided to make this an annual event!! I love Halloween!!
