Avengers Assemble!

Friday night Family night brought the Avengers to our house, US!  We didn't do any special theme as far as movie and food, but we all wore our Avengers shirts!  The fun of superheroes!

Ring Of Fire

Friday night after our usual soccer practice, homemade pizza, and movie, we took the kids in the backyard and did sparklers for the first time. I am not sure why we haven't done them before, but it was an unforgettable experience. Karis was a tad bit scared at first, but once she saw Noah swinging his sparkler around making shapes, she was all over it!

Family night last week was super hero night: The Incredibles came to dinner! After much thought and (trying to be creative), the only thing I made for the night were masks for all of us. We wore them for awhile and it was fun, but the mask gave me a BIG headache! The night started with us decorating our cupcakes with an "I" out of candy corn. We then ate homemade pizza (I figured we could be like the Ninja Turtles) and our cupcakes. After posing for some pictures, we watched the movie The Incredibles, which is one of our favorite ones.

Princess Tea Party

Our second themed family night was all for Karis: Princess Tea Party Night. I pulled out all the stops, at least all that I knew of to put on a full fledged tea party for dinner. Karis and I dressed in our princess clothes, and Noah and Justin dressed in nice clothes.

My little princess and me dressed for our tea party.

Thanks to my friend Lori, I made scones for the first time. They were absolutely yummy! I also made my Aunt Barbara's tea cakes which were also fantastic! We had hot tea, a vegetable tray with ranch dip and fruit.

Tea anyone?

Yummy scones, one of my new favorite things.

We tried to get the kids to stick out their pinky while drinking the tea, not so easy for Noah. It was fun being silly and trying to be English!

Up next: super hero night. Family themed nights are so fun. We watched Cinderella after tea and all enjoyed the family classic, even Noah said "that was good Mommy."
