Grandpa Dales 80th Birthday

Grandpa Dale had a decision to make. He could quietly turn 80 or he could party it up. Well anyone who knows him knew the decision was an easy one. Grandpa loves a good party. We celebrated with a few hundred of his favorite people. We were all put in charge of something for the party. Many of us preformed in a program were as Grandpa said " This is an occasion were it is ok for me to show off my posterity.

The Food.... We had Two kinds of cake four kinds of cupcakes, Fruit, Vegetables and Chicken sandwiches.

My Assignment was the centerpieces. I made paper flowers with candy sticks for stems.

My Favorite Photo of the night (there were 228 photos taken) Brecklyn and Derek.

My Favorite Dance of the night. Emma, Courtney, Dominique and Rebecca performed their rendition of the Nepolian dynamite(grandpas favorite movie) dance. We made the T-shirts just for this dance.


My Second favorite Dancer of the night. Grandpa is on the left the guy on the right was using this walker. During the program this man whos name I do not know was dancing behind his walker. It was very cute and brought a smile to my face. It was a fun evening I look forward to his 90th.

Your my pot of gold


I made these for my kids. When I was getting supplies they did not have gold coins so I used rolos. They look like little gold nuggets. You could also use the gold Hershey nuggets. I was handing them out this morning and usually Nicole turns her nose up at my fun gifts. Today she said "Hey I want one" It made me happy. Apparently you need to make sure you put the twizlers in the correct Rainbow order because every kids knows the order. It is ROY G BIV I had it wrong and they all rearranged them before eating them. Here is the link to the tag and instructions.

This has got to be the cutest hand out for The March VT message.

I was having a hard time getting into the message this month. I love to have a hook to draw my sisters into the lesson. I was not able to find it myself. I actually wanted to teach the Home teaching message this month. It appealed to me so much more than the VT message. Please go go to her site and print your own. It even has a pattern insert that ties into the lesson. Watch her viedeo about the printout it was very informative and almost made me want to teach the VT message not the Home Teacher message.
