Our little branch, Montreal East English speaking, combined with the Ochelaga French speaking ward for a Halloween Party. They went all out. As we entered the building everything was very dark with a few lit jack-o-lanterns grinning at us. The door were blocked and we followed a string of lit orange lights that wove in and out of all the classrooms with various pumpkin and jack-o-lanterns glowing to show the way until we ended up in the cultural hall. the hall was decorated and set up with tables with a buffet to which everyone contributed.
The details of the party were a bit confusing. One set said the party was from 5-7 and the other said 7-10. But everyone said that both times were for everyone and you could just come whenever you wanted. We were supposed to eat around 7:00. We arrived about 5:45 and but by then most of the food was gone although some food did come dribbling in over the next few hours.
There were games for the kids.
there was a huge bouncy house. It looks kinda small here, but in reality, it was very, very large.
The two elders assigned to this ward and branch enjoyed the party.
The sisters like it too.
Cute little matching pumpkins are the daughters of the Branch Pres and his counselor.
The little green frog is the Branch President's son.
There was lots of dancing going on. Perpetue was rocking out even with her cane. I guess she's feeling much better. It was amazing to me to hear that the government is paying her $1,000 every two weeks because she is unable to go back to work yet after being hit by a car.
Her Mom was dancing even more than she was. Those two loved it.
This fellow came as a funny doctor and his wife came with her own IV pole and lines taped to her arm.
I tried to get a good photo of this lady, but she was moving around too much the entire evening.
Dry ice is always fun in the punch.
These cakes looked so yummy, but we left just as they were beginning to serve them.
