While the boys were at Priesthood session, I had a "Favorite Things" Party for some girlfriends. They were instructed to bring 3 of their favorite things. When everyone came over, each girl wrote their name on 3 pieces of paper and put then in a bowl. Then each girl got a piece of paper with their name on it and pinned it to their back. Before we played the game, we enjoyed dinner- sandwiches and salad from Panera. After dinner, we each took turns explaining our favorite things. Before we talked about each one, we would pick a name, and that's the person who received that favorite thing. It was so fun to learn something new about each person and then to walk away with 3 new great products. After the game, we walked around and wrote out favorite thing about that person on their back. So for instance, I might write "You are always smiling and happy." on my friends back. Then when we were done, it was fun to read what people thought about you!
I made my "favorite " cookies and attached the recipe- to give away as favors.
Everyone writing their favorite things on everyone else's back.
After the "Favorite Things" party, the boys joined us for dessert and games. I LOVE playing games with a big group like that. It's so fun! We stayed up laughing and playing until almost midnight. We have such a great group of friends here!

The next morning we enjoyed monkey bread and fruit for breakfast while watching conference. My kids really look forward to a yummy meal- so I sacrifice every year and get up early (4 am) to prep the bread and set it out to rise. Then when we get up at 8am, it's all ready to pop in the oven. It was a busy, but super fun weekend!
The famous bread- so worth the early get up time!

Yeah! I've been waiting to see your pics from the Favorite things party! That was a ton of fun. By the way, I am LOVIN the fabric softener you gave me!
So fun! I love how creative you are. I would also like the monkey bread recipe. Is it in the family cookbook you gave me?
that looks like it was such a fun party!!! I am sooooo sad I couldn't go. You guys need to do another one now!! :) :)
That is such a cute idea. Im sad I couldnt come.
I think you are the most creative person I know. You need to blog about what you're going to do BEFORE you do it so I can steal all of your ideas. :) I miss you!
We had a great time- thanks for the invite. You are such a good party host, and have such fun ideas.
Oh, my goodness, Danielle, this is a great idea! It makes me wonder how I can incorporate something like this into one of my Enrichment meetings here in Tupelo, Mississippi. I am going to ponder that.
Man I am still SO bummed we missed it! It looks like it was so fun. And you always are SO GOOD at making everything look so cute and stylish.
Hey let me know next time childrens place or anyone is having a sale and I will come meet you for a day of shopping if I have the day off. That would be fun. I KNOW you are always at the mall, because remember how often we ALWAYS ran into each other...ha ha ha
You are so cute and creative and artistic and fun! I wish we lived closer!
