Dinner and FHE Schedule

From Linnea:

Here is the Dinner and FHE Night Schedule. 

 

Dinners & FHE Nights

Saturday – Mom and Dad

Sunday – Jason and Linnea – Stir fry or shish kabob with fudge cycles

Monday – Danielle & Kevin

Tuesday – Quinn & Devry - Lasagna, bread, salad and an Italian cream soda bar

Wednesday – Mile & Heather - Enchiladas/Mexican theme

Thursday – Cara & Ben

Friday – Mom & Dad – Dinner – Talent Show Night

 

Talent Show night is going to be on Friday.  Since we did the entire families for talent last year, does anyone mind if we make it a kid talent show night?  The kids can do individual talents and group talents.  I am hoping that as the week goes on, some cousins might find some things to do together.  Aunika and Jacqueline are already planning on including the girl cousins in on a dance.

 

Mom & Cara, what do you think about bringing some dress up outfits the kids can mess around with?  Hats, glasses, boa’s etc…just stuff we have on hand.  I have several things we can bring.  It might be fun if we challenge the kids to do a few gospel message commercials or skits and the costumes could make it fun.

Family Pictures

From: Devry

 

Picture time! Mom asked me to put together a color scheme for family pictures.

Here is what I came up with (see attached files)

As you can see it is mostly neutrals like gray, cream, browns, blues with coral and sort of a sea green. Feel free to go with a bright or pale shade with the colors as long as they stay in the general hue. And just make sure you spread them around your family so that when we get all together it will all blend. Textures and layers help to make the picture more interesting and an easy way to add color and interest inexpensively is with accessories (think vests, statement necklace, headbands, fun shoes, etc...) Let me know if this is OK or if you despise it and we can come up with something else :)
