Back to School Feast

Before anyone compliments me on what a creative, fun idea it is to have a back-to-school feast the evening before the first day of school, let me first admit that this wasn't my idea.  Last year I was searching online for "back-to-school traditions" and found this idea which I thought would be fun.  So this is our Second Annual Back To School Feast, being held on Labor Day, the day before the girls begin school.

This year I again made the girls new personalized crowns for the occasion, although Charles and I just wore the crowns that I made for us last year.

The girls helped me decorate the cupcakes for the feast.  I asked Ellie if she was also tasting the icing and she told me "No" so I have no idea why you would think that. ;)

Here is the scene from the feast:

And here is the scene from last year's feast, just for a fun comparison:

NOW she is eating the cupcakes:

And finally, my big 3 year old and I.  She said, "We're friends!"

I hope my girls have a wonderful school year!
