All month we have been preparing for our church's R.S. Birthday Celebration. Tonight was finally the BIG night. Our Activity Organizer, Sis. Gubler, came up with the idea of wanting to play Family Feud. I love games, so of course I was on board with this idea. She put me in charge of coming up with a gift to give the sisters.
What I came up with was an owl necklace. We had 3 different designs to choose from. When they wear them they can always remember "who" they came from and "who" their sisters are. I will have a tutorial on how to make these later.
Then for refreshments Sis. Gubler found these cute little owl cupcakes in a magazine. They followed along perfectly with our "Who" theme.
We even made a bunch of little owls too
We combined everything on one table. That way when they came up to get their dessert they could also pick out their gift.
Instead of calling our game Family Feud we called it "Who Knew" Hear is Sis. Gubler as the Host and me as Vana White. Yes, I know Vana is on Wheel Of Fortune, but somebody had to pull the answer cards off and keep score
For our teams we have the COOL KIDS (who ended up being our winners)
and the ROCKIN' SOCKIN' RELIEF SOCIETY
Once we started it got competitive REAL quick. Melanie means business. She is determined to hit that buzzer first. I didn't know these ladies could get so vicious.
What? Sis. Daniel only got 4 out of the 50 votes for, "Name a sister in our Ward?" Come on people she is our Relief Society president. She should have been the #1 answer.
People kept arguing some of the answers. But Sis. Gubler is like, "Hey don't blame me. I didn't make these answers up. I called all of you! This is what y'all came up with"
The highlight of my whole night was when Rose came up to play. She was so quick to buzz the buzzer and then froze. She couldn't remember her answer for anything. She kept blaming it on old age. It was the sweetest and funniest thing of the whole night. I Love her to death. Sis. Daniel had to end up coming up and telling her an answer in her ear because she could never come up with one.
I have to say all of our hard work paid off. We had such a fun time. I love when I am able to get together with all of these wonderful ladies. "Who Knew" they could be such fun?
Now remember the question....Do you know "Who" you are? I can never forget "Who" my sisters are. They always bring a smile to my face.

I went by an appliance warehouse and got a refrigerator cardboard box that they were throwing away. I cut a hole for an opening and spray painted it red and added some brown lines for bricks. I stacked some wood logs like I was going to make a fire. Our church doesn't allow real fires in the building, so I wrapped white lights around the logs and stuffed with red and orange tissue paper.
Then for the tables I had them lined with mini fires as well. 
Here is a closer look. I just made a skinny rectangle box, painted it brown, and stuffed with some more red and orange tissue paper. (If you want more exact measurements of the boxes I will post a tutorial later.) In between each fire box we had our little "Give S'more" handouts for the sisters to take home when they were done eating.
You might remember these from my previous post. I just packaged mine a little differently. 
I also thought that a Hot Chocolate Bar would be good to keep us warm by the fire. Some ingredients we had...crushed Ande's mints, peppermint sticks, orange peelings, chocolate covered spoons, and of course marshmallows. I also had flavored creamers, but I forgot to pull them out until later after I already took the picture. The flavorings were vanilla, gingerbread, & sugar and spice.
The whole bar picture. My favorite combination was the crushed Ande's mints stirred with a peppermint stick. Mmmmm....
We had a beautiful musical number done by some very talented sisters in our ward. I had never seen a harp in real life before so I was excited
Here are the sisters caught in action. The pictures don't do the room justice. All of the lights were cut off except for one set. The room had a warm glow with all of the christmas lights surrounding around everywhere.
