Hemafton-Halloween/Autumn Theme

30 Oct Monday
Pumpkins, autumn leaves and candy. Things that takes ones thoughts to a mystical chilling holiday called Halloween. In this family home evening we had loads who came. 23 to be exact. With so many it became more fun in the games that were put on by exchange students Traci and Jane. Games included a trick or treat get-to-know-you game followed by donuts on a string. Leo won that game. Next was to find as many lollipop disguised as ghosts in the area. Rebecka won that one. Final game was mummification. Everyone was divided up in pairs and the first to use up a whole roll TP won. Rebecka and Lorentz raked in that prize as well. We were treated by a thought from Carolina to set small and simple goals. To have a nice finishing touch for the evening we had refreshments made of pumpkins. By Nancy's skills assisted by Sarah, we got to treat our taste buds to some pumpkin baked yum yums (bread, pie, pancakes, cookies). It was quite a captivating Halloween themed festivity.

Leo's Blue Birthday Bash

20 October Friday
Nancy, Leo's sister, was cunningly planning to host a Blue themed birthday party for Leo. Many of the YSA came to the shindig. It was a very monochromatic evening. People had blue clothes, blue presents, blue food, blue desserts and blue drinks. The evening was very blue, the color, that is.

We played a Get-To-Know-Leo Game led by Nancy to bring out the not-so-known stuff about him.
Some felt like breaking it down to the music like Nancy and Shara. Even Hari joined in and showed us how it's done in India. We got some dance lessons! We never deny the supply. Check out the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzIpnxN67Cc

Thanks to Nancy for hosting the party. Thanks to everyone who came to celebrate and made Leo's blue birthday bash a special memory.

Hemafton-Innebandy

16 Oct Monday
Our second family home evening of the season was exhilarating! Stephanie rounded up the troops for some innebandy to get us ready for the innebandy tournament at the upcoming YSA super weekend. A solid 12 YSA came and participated. At the end of the evening we celebrated Shara's birthday. Happy Birthday!

Bytarkvällen

The exchange evening lured a lot of YSA plus many others from the Ward. One's unwanted clothes became another's find. The clothes left over were given away. Thanks for everyone who helped out!

Inflyttningsfest hos Karin & Rebecka

6 Oct Fredag
The home warming party went well at Karin and Rebecka. It was a decent turn out from the YSA and friends. Ironically Karin was not home for the weekend since she had to travel away. Those who came had a good time. We wish them the best at their new home.

Inflyttningsfest hos Karin och Rebecka bliv lyckad. Ironist var att Karin var bort rest under helgen. Men dem som kom hade en trevlig tid. Här är en bild från kvällen.

Hemafton-Premiär

2 Oct Monday
As autumn approaches and things begin such as school so did Family Home Evening with a kickoff celebration. 16 people showed up at the Hagmans for some fun. We played a get-to-know-you game and telephone charades. Laughs couldn't be held back. The Hagman couple finished off the event with some words of what is family home evening and the reason for it. We had loads of fun and got to know each other in a fun way in this incredible evening.
Thanks for all who came!
