Homecoming Dinner

This past weekend I had about 30 of my daughter's closest friends over for dinner before the
Homecoming dance. 

 She is a Freshman this year, and having them all together like this seemed SO much easier!

centerpieces on the tables





They came with their parents and we did group pictures, then they came in and ate and "hung out" before it was time to head to the dance. 

Thank you to all of the parents that helped drive!!

Dinner was pretty darn simple.  I had wanted to get a little more extravagant, but the thought of someone ruining their ensemble with pasta sauce or something had me too nervous!

The Menu:
Deli meat and cheese trays
Tuscan rolls
Chips and dip
Mini cupcakes
Chocolate chip cookies

Our school colors are red, black and white. So it matched my kitchen perfectly! Not to mention, it was Husker Game night! So I decorated with fall florals, gourds, pumpkins and black red, and white.


deli trays with meat and cheese



Tuscan rolls



sandwich fixin's



chips and French onion dip...LOVE my football pottery!



desserts... chocolate chip cookies



mini cupcakes, some with chocolate and some with vanilla frosting


pretty red and clear sprinkles, and what's a fall party without candy corn and peanut mix?


I "canned" fall blooms for the centerpieces and tied them with black and white ribbon



Here are a couple of pictures of the kids.


my kids before the night began

My son is a Junior, he headed out to celebrate with "kids his own age" at another party.


looking so nice. (looks like they get along ...right?!?!)


most of the group



pretty girls and their shoes

Can you believe we had to TELL them to "add some sass" to their pose?!?! 

That's something I never thought I would say to MY DAUGHTER! "Get sassy!"

I think it went well, all in all.

Thanks for looking.
