Sunday evening, we had our traditional family Back to School party!! We had a nice dinner together and some fun entertainment by Gwen afterwards. She had us all laughing so hard we were crying.
Adam helped plan the menu. We had smothered chicken, mashed potatoes, sweet carrots, salad, rolls and Shirley Temples.
Tessa set the table and created our centerpiece.
They each received their school/responsibility binder for the school year.
We introduced and talked about our family scripture for the year.
And, they got their new backpacks, full of new school supplies!
Daddy gave both Adam and Tessa a father's blessing for the new school year and Mommy read a few of our favorite back to school books.
They each filled out their "All About Me" sheets for the year.
Apparently, Adam thought scribbling all over the word,
cereal, would make it look even less desirable.
We had Twinkie pencils for dessert! Both kids are over the moon excited to start school. I am trying to be excited for them, but it's a little harder for me. I have loved having everyone home and together all summer. This next year will be a big adjustment for me and Gwennie.
