Mystery Dinner

This post is almost a month late, as was the party celebrating

Evey's birthday. She decided she wanted to have a mystery dinner,

so we sent out cute little question mark invites.

The table was set so pretty! But, it didn't stay that way...sniffle.

We had to put extra curtains to block out the sunlight, so it

was more of a restaurant feel.

Each girl was given a menu of 16 items with funny names,

so they didn't know what they were ordering. They had to

write when they wanted each of the 16 items during the 4

course meal.

Here's a list of a few, see if you can guess what each item is

(answers at the bottom)

Right Hook

Cut Twigs

Polly's Delight

Sharp Toys

Huckleberry's Friend

After they had planned out their meal, we brought them 4

items at a time, for each course. And cleared all 4 when that

course was over.

Unbeknownst to them, their utensils and drinks were some

of those menu items, so when a plate of spaghetti, a toothpick,

salad and a slab of butter was served, (or other funny

combinations, whatever they ordered for that course) they

had to be creative and come up with interesting ways to eat!!

It was so fun to watch. Sometimes they ended up with 2 drinks,

a fork, a knife and a cracker. But, once they had the fork, they

only had it for that course. It went back when the course was over.

Apparently Evey didn't get a utensil with her salad.

Everyone had to use a toothpick at some point.

Some got dessert first, before an entreé.

And sometimes they got just what they needed, a fork WITH their spaghetti

The cake wasn't on the menu, but it would have been

fun to give Evey an extra item and whenever that item

came up would have been when we sang, ... now we know

for if we ever do this again!

The girls really seemed to enjoy the party, so even though

it was a ton of work on our part, (preparing every menu

item without Evey knowing what they were and making

sure each girl got their correct order for each course), it

totally paid off to see their smiles and how much fun they

were having!
