Family Gala 2010

This year I decided to take some of our family traditions and put them into one fun filled night instead of sporadically through out the year. Thanks R for letting me piggy back your idea.

The kids received this invitation on their beds with the request to RSVP in writing. Another time I will scan and post Meg's RSVP. It made me smile. This night was all about celebrating
our family accomplishments and setting goals for this upcoming school year. In pondering this years theme Matt and I realize that it will be an easier year if we can KEEP CALM before choosing our reaction in tough situations. That way we can focus on STAYing STRONG as an individual and as a family. We discussed various tough situations as we ate dinner. After we had a fantastic dance party and awards ceremony followed by a back to school fashion show.

THE SIDE SPLITTER AWARD This kid makes us laugh with his silly faces and random comments. We love you!


ROSIE THE RIVETER AWARD

If work needs to be done. This is your girl. Thanks for all your help. You are Spectacular!

GO WITH THE FLOW AWARD We wanted to celebrate this gal for working so hard in being flexible. Meg you are MARVELOUS!


To close out the evening Matt gave the kids each a father's blessing. It is always a tender moment for me. We had a wonderful time dining, celebrating, and laughing together. This year will be fantastic as we "KEEP CALM AND STAY STRONG".



We celebrate you and all that you contribute to our family. Love, Mom and Dad
