Back-to-School Feast

Sunday we had our annual Back-to-school feast (you can read about feasts of the past here and  here).  I got overly ambitious this year and made little felt crowns for each of the boys.  They were actually pretty easy and the boys loved them!


On the menu was hamburgers, homemade fries, fresh fruit and veggies and raspberry lemonade.


We also introduced the theme for the school year: Choose The Right.


This covers so much that we are trying to work on... being kind to brothers, serving, being helpful, talking respectfully, etc.  Hopefully the constant reminder to CTR will help!

The boys were pretty excited for this yummy dinner and tradition and seem to be on board for the new school year theme.  Hopefully their excitement carries them through the school year.






The boys wore their crowns all night and even when we dropped William off at school the next day!


Yesterday we even got some new CTR rings and "Choose the Right" bands.  Everyone was pretty excited about them... and hopefully they prove to be a good reminder.  Here's hoping for a good school year and lots of good choices!

    I love this tradition you have! The crowns were a great touch. Your theme goes along with the Primary theme for this year. Great reinforcement!
