Here are some pictures from our lovely chili cook-off ward party. When we first got to the ward Charles went to Elders Quorum and no one could think of an idea for a party. Charles mentioned, "Hey, how about a chili cook-off?" they said, "Great! you're in charge!" So, Charles and the main activities commitee guy helped pull it off.It was pretty fun. Actually, a lot of fun.
It was also Karaoke night. There was a guy in our ward who had an awesome Karaoke set up with over 600 songs. He had a list that you could pick any song from. Anyhow, I had never seen a karaoke night in a Mormon church before. It was SO funny. Everyone got up there! I mean everyone!! The Bishopric was up shaking their booties and singing. The relief society women . . . everyone! Even me! Now, I love to sing - but I hate karaoke, because I stink at it. I love to sing when I am well practiced and prepared. Anyhow, I got up there with a bunch of the younger women in the ward and sang a song from Grease. Then after that Charles signed us up for a duet to the song, "If I had a million dollars". It was so funny! I could not believe I subjected myself to that! Charles sang Jail House Rock by Elvis - that was great! What a bunch of good silly people. If you ever want to pull a ward together I recommend karaoke night - it was SO awesome and funny!! : )
Sounds like fun! We had Karaoke at our family reunion this summer and it was a hoot!! From Grandma to preschoolers, they were out there. It is really fun. Take the Karaoke out of the bars and it can really be a kick!!
