Back to School Feast and the First Day of School

Back to School Feast 2012

This year I spent a lot of time praying and reading scriptures for inspiration on what our theme for this year should be. The winner is: the 13th Article of Faith (abridged version).

Since flowers, to me, are the epitome of "lovely" I focused on that for the decorations. Thanks to the Farmers Market for amazing fresh flowers.

The kids with their traditional crowns and schultuetes (school cones). 

Since we rarely have mean, the kids were so excited to have chicken legs.

I made the girls a charm necklace to remind them of our theme. I used little metal letter stamps to engrave the words onto charms. Alex got his on a leather bracelet (more masculine).
