Halloween Book Club

When we started the Princeton Ward Book Club back in 2000, we had no idea that we would still be having fun together 11 years later.  We had no idea that only 1 person would still be in the Princeton Ward (that's me!).  And we had no idea that we could actually get our husbands to read.  Who knew?  Every year in October, we have a couples' night for our book club .  Each couple reads a book of their choice and talks about it at our Halloween party. 
Want to hear a joke?  There was a gangster, a monster, and a soldier hanging out at a bar...
We eat, talk about great books (or magazine articles for some husbands:), and have a great time. We usually only spend about 20 minutes total talking about the books, but it's a great excuse to get together and have fun, especially since we have all moved away and don't see each other very often.   McKenzie and her husband, Gary, are always great sports and host it for us.   
Drama Queen McKenzie and Gary the Hippie:  Proof that opposites attract!
This year was the first year without Joe and Michelle, who moved to Wyoming in July.  We missed them and will hold their spots for them when they move back!  Here's a look at the guest list:

Kassie and John were looking fierce!
 
Rita and Nick managed a night away from the Munchkins.

Dr. Myndee is checking to make sure Jason's heartbeat is OK

Hailey and Jason played it cool as Bella and Edward.  Look closely and you'll see bite marks!
Del and I had fun being the bad guys of the Roaring 20's.
Good Job, Tucker and Susan! We didn't know you were on the team that got him.

Yeah bookclub! It looks like you had a wonderful time. I CANNOT believe you got Jason to come, and to dress up! I would have loved to be there. You and Del look awsome. Someone told me that you had played up your sexiness, and you did. . . very well. :)
