| i made each boy a crown |
 |
| have you tried izze? i love those gorgeously designed bottles and the fact that it is 100% juice and sparkling water makes them a perfect special occasion treat |
 |
| we gave each boy a new book to start the school year off right. they love berenstain bear books and the fact that i scored these ones at a thrift store in perfect conditions just sweetens the deal. |
 |
| on the menu was roast chicken, mashed potatoes, broccoli with butter, and izze. i am sure there was dessert but for the life of me i cannot remember what! |
 |
| our theme for the year was honor and respect. it was very helpful to reflect back throughout the school year and remember our theme. it really helped reinforce those principles. after we ate dinner we had family home evening and john gave each boy a father's blessing. |
 |
| this years feast included izze, roast beef, mashed potatoes, buttered corn, and jello pretzel salad. we had chocolate chip cookies for dessert after family home evening and the father's blessings. |
 |
| our theme this school year is be grateful. cool party trick: fold thin strips of coordinating paper accordion-style to make custom confetti for your table. |
 |
| this year zander got the incredible book eating boy, asher got ol' 556, and tiernan got an eyewitness book on cars. |
 |
| this year in lieu of crowns i got each boy an alaska railroad conductor hat and added a paper name label for the feast. |
this is now one of our favorite fall traditions. thanks to nie nie for the great idea!
