Olympics Party

Well, I'm going out of chronological order here, but this post is more relevant, and the pictures are ready :).  Last weekend we hosted an olympics party.  It was so fun to entertain at our house again.  Brent's still healing from his eye surgery, but was able to compete with everyone else.  I had lots and lots of help from family pulling this off!



Everyone had to wear red, white, and blue.  Go Team USA!


The torch and medals




Everyone made a dish from another country.  I loved the creativity!


Caprese Salad from Italy


Baklava from Greece


Cucumber Salad from Japan


Fried Meatballs from Albania


Plantains from Haiti


There was an Olympic trivia event, a flag match-up event, and a blindfolded relay.  We had three teams, so everything was a group competition.



The final challenge was seeing which team could eat the most from their box of Kellogg's Team USA cereal.  Not as easy as it sounds!




Gold, Silver, and Bronze winners


So proud of all our athletes!


Happy Olympics, everyone!
