Thankful Dinner

The parents of my Activity Day girls are so supportive and so often jump in to help when we need it. We wanted to have a special dinner for them with the girls serving them dinner. We had a nice table set up with menu cards and pretty center pieces and tried to make it look like a nice restaurant. The girls got to be the waitresses for the evening and they thought it was the best thing ever. They started by serving them water and giving them the menu. It had three courses:

Course 1) Salad with choice of toppings and dressings
Course 2) Choice between 2 entrees (we had lasagna and stuffed bell peppers) and choice of veggies
Course 3) Choice of dessert (brownie sundae or berry sundae)

I made the girls order forms so all they had to do was check the box next to whatever their mom or dad wanted and bring it back to the kitchen. We then put the orders together, one course at a time, and the girls served them to their parents. We had them checking back every once in a while to refill their water, take away plates, bring the next course, etc. The girls were also munching on food in the kitchen in between. I wish we had taken pictures but we were so busy getting everything done we just did not have time. But it was great. The girls loved it and the parents enjoyed being pampered for the evening.
