Snow White Awards Night

For our awards night we decided to go with a Snow White theme. We thought that this theme would give us 2 different aspects we could focus on: inner beauty and the importance of hard work. We had 2 amazing sisters give talks on these two subjects and then the bishop came and brought them together. We handed out awards for completing a years worth of goals, for memorizing all the Articles of Faith, and also if they completed reading the Book of Mormon on their own.

Decorations: we had a lot of paper apples and plastic gems as well as flower streamers and shiny/glittery pieces.

Food: All the food had Snow White themed names: The Queen's Poisoned Punch, Sweet as Snow White Sugar Cookies, Water from the Magic Well, Prince Charming's Roll Up Sandwiches, Dwarf's sized Pulled Pork Sandwiches, Rainbow Fruit Kabobs from the Forest Animals



Games: We had 4 different "game" stations
1) Bowling for Dwarfs
2) Magic Wishing Well
3) Dwarf Mine (bucket with sand in it and some gems to dig up)
4) Magic Mirror (the Shrek DVD has a magic mirror on it that we set up on a tv in a corner)



Give Away: We had a small hand mirror (awesome find at the dollar store) for each of the girls with the poem I wrote attached.
We had this poem on the invitations we handed out, on the program and on the mirrors:
Mirror mirror in my hand
Who is the fairest in the land?
My dearest one do you not know?
Hard work and righteous study have made her so…
The fairest of fair is not one alone,
But all with a heart holding a
Testimony that glows.

Thank you to my amazing sister who took all these pictures (Alisa Duenas Photography)

Love Chain

Sometimes you can take a simple craft idea, think everyone's will come out fairly similar, and be totally shocked by how different each one comes out. For this activity we made valentine love chains. The pattern was pretty basic. I could not find just white, pink and red pom poms so we went with pony beads instead. I made a variety of felt hearts in various shades of pink and red and we had a few shades of ribbon. I wish I had gotten pictures of all the finished products but I was a little busy managing girls so you will have to just see the pattern pic.
