Mormon Prom

A week before Seth was born was another big event we were involved in - Mormon Prom. It got sidelined on the blog, but was really so much fun I've got to post about it. In our area we do a big multi-stake prom each year (thank goodness it wasn't our turn to host!) The theme was "Around the World in 80 Days" and our stake's assignment was to turn the foyer into an 1870's-era train station where the kids could come check in before going into the dance. So Quinn made some sketches of people in correct costume and he, Adrianne, and another woman in our stake painted them life-size on some canvases. Our YW secretary did a fabulous job of painting a huge mural of the stairs and windows in Grand Central station, and my counselor, her sister, and I made three ticket booths. The whole place looked great - you can see the amazing pics here.
But that was only half the fun. Quinn and some of his friends (and their moms) planned a dinner for 7 couples which they used our house for. We set up tables on the deck and they had menus with various choices of entrees, etc. and Luke and another little brother were the waiters. It was all good fun!
