Last night was our 9th annual Bastille Day party. It took mom and me a little while to figure out how many years we've been doing this. Our first ever was at girl's camp one year. We brought up a small tv and Jill brought up eclairs. It's been a fun tradition ever since. This year there was all sorts of breads, cheeses, fruits, cookies, grape slush and water. Then, of course, we top it all off with a showing of The Scarlet Pimpernel. I think that I could mute the movie and recite the lines and sing a fair amount of the music. It's a little sad, but it's a great movie that I've seen a lot. We had about 25 people show up and I think everyone had a great time. Here are some pictures of the party.
This was the food spread before everyone came.
Adam, Em, Deb and Marie getting set up.
Deb & Marie. A definite Kodak moment.
Me and Em. How cute are we!?!
Katrina & Aaron. I like the pose.
Press play and here we go!

Sounds like Bastille Day was a blast as usual! I am reading a bio on Marie Antionette and keep wondering when the Pimpernel is going to show up :)
Ali, I don't know what it is with me sending you links, but you know that's what I do all day - peruse the internet - so I found this and laughed uproariously and thought you might too.
It's how to throw young children the best bastille day party ever.
