Roy 14th RS Birthday Social

I am the RS Counselor over the activities. We had our birthday social planned in March. We decided to go with an Italian theme. I made placemats with a word search, poem, word scramble & coloring to go on the tables like at an Italian restaurant. We had bread with olive oil & balsamic vinegar for appetizers. We made a yummy ceasar salad. The plan was to have a pasta bar but we had some last minute problems. We couldn't get the water to boil at the church. Kevin was calm, cool & collected (yes...Kevin helped because he is the best husband EVER) and got everything together. We had homemade marinara sauce with meatballs & chicken alfredo sauce penne pasta. After dinner we had fun "Speed Friending" with the sisters. We lined up on opposite sides of tables and each person had 60 seconds to ask questions about the sister across from her. The sisters had a great time and we had a hard time getting them to stop talking after only 2 minutes. It was a lot of work but I think it was a great success.

Speed Friending

Karen's daughter made this cupcakes for dessert. They were my favorite part of the night!
