After two months of preparation and hard work, the Activity Girls (Jamie, Mina, Kayla, Melanie, Michelle and Rachel) hosted a dinner on Friday night for their parents in our home. We have studied the Word of Wisdom, Nutrition, Etiquette and Manners to prepare for the big event. Last Wednesday the girls prepared the 2 lasagnas and we planned the rest of the menu.
The girls arrived Friday night with their parents about 6:30. As the parents visited in the living room, the girls quickly set the table, made the ceasar salad, toasted the french bread, served appetizers, and filled the glasses with water. By 7:00 dinner was ready and the parents were invited to join us at the table.
The girls did a wonderful job serving the salad and bread, refilling water glasses and then proceeding to the next course by serving the lasagna. They would sneak away while the adults were eating and grab a few bites of food themselves, but were always right back to check on their guests and serve them! The girls then served brownies with ice cream and a yummy caramel on the side.
I am so proud of the girls' hard work and a great time was had by all! We loved having the Burdges, Blakelys, Quicks (Grandpa and Emily), and the McKinney's in our home. We had so much fun...that I forgot to take pictures!
