Who'd have thought, all the costumes I've been sewing for unit celebrations would come in handy for another purpose! At the end of each Awana year, they have a leadership banquet. The teens get a partner to decorate and serve the tables. DD did this last year with a friend. This year there was a theme: Around the World. They wanted elaborate costumes and table decorations. I started to panic. I have no time to make more costumes...I'm already busy with our unit 4 costumes. Then I had an idea. Would my children be willing to partner with each other and wear one of their previous unit celebration costumes? Yes! Whew!
Here they are getting the table ready...

Meanwhile Italian music was playing in the background...

Mexican food was being catered and was already in the kitchen...

My dc's table theme was France...

DD had stamped fleur d'leis on cardstock for placemats...

DD had wanted an Eifel Tower but we couldn't find one. I let the dc shop for things from my stuff at home...

DS wore his Three Musketeer D'Artagnon costume. DD wore her dress from our Medieval Feast and portrayed Constance from The Three Musketeers. 
They had a lot of fun! |
