WOW--If we had known about the GREAT menu, and all the work you girls went to for delicious homemade dishes and a colorful table, we wouldn't have said no to the invite (though six more would have burst your home). Our meal was rather simple (except tasty dishes made by Mrs. Bentley), and we had no eager gamers to create a party atmosphere. Maybe you should start workshops to teach other teens how to entertain!
Nice to see so many family photos, and learn new things about you all that never come up at church. I had not viewed the blog in a year...
