At least forty people came. We went through a lot of French toast, whipped cream, and syrup.
There was a ward activity Saturday afternoon. Unfortunately, it was not as well attended as French Toast with Mara. Part of that was confusion about what time the thing really started and part of it was nobody wanted to drive to the church. Saturday afternoons are notorious for being lazy.
The weekend culminated in a giant birthday celebration for Heather, the Relief Society president. She invited the entire ward to a 1920s party in the lounge Saturday night. The place was really decked out to look like a club, jazz music and all. A lot of people came dressed up; Kelly and Holly spent a long time perfecting their looks. :) Sara spent some time teaching me basic swing dance steps, I spent some time devouring the homemade root beer, and Jennifer and I spent a lot of time playing Crack the Case. (A thinking game that's very similar to our Mind-whatever-it's-called game that Graig has memorized at home.) We liked it so much I even begged Heather to let us borrow it so we could play it again last night.
It's called Mindtrap
ReplyDeleteThe french toast party sounds fun. I'm glad you didn't run out of bread since more than twice as many people came as you expected. What was your job during the party? How old was Heather turning? Her party sounds really fun. Why didn't they have your ward party at the church by your apartment complex? Thanks for the update. You should use your camera and take some pictures to go with your posts... just a suggestion. My goal is to get our family blog updated this week through 2011 so I can start working on the book.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you have enough energy to party after a week of work, classes, and homework. I'm also glad you have good friends to party with and lots of bread, whipped cream, and syrup.
