Dinner Group

When we started school almost 3 years ago one of my friends Kate started a dinner group. She had gotten this idea from someone she knew and decided to start it up with our class. The idea was each person was in charge of a portion of the meal weather it be a salad or main dish and then one family was in charge of giving an FHE Lesson and game. The idea was to fix something that you had never made. It has been a lot of fun to try new recipes and enjoy new foods. When we first started we were having it at people's houses but after the first year we just grew to big and so we started having it at the church. We would get together one Sunday a month and I really enjoyed it since Sundays are sometimes so long! Since we started we have had over 10 babies born amongst us with at least 4 more to be born by the end of the year. My friend Kate is so nice and has put together the recipes each month with a picture of each of us with our food and has sent them out to us each month and now she is going to put together a book for us to each buy when we graduate. Our last dinner group as a whole was the Sunday before we left. We had the bishop come and give us some words of advice and we played a game of family feud while some youth from the ward watched all the kids. After we took a picture but sadly we were missing about 5 families a few that couldn't make it and a few that had already left. We had all LDS families in the class of 2013 come plus a girl in their class and her husband who lived by all of us would come. It was fun this night to think about the last three years and how far we have all come. Andrew and I went to the first 3 without kids, it is still weird to think we moved there kid less. This was the last dinner group as a whole since a couple of us have moved away and by the end of the summer a few more will be moving but we hope to continue to go when we move back for a few months. We really all enjoyed each other each month and felt like this really drew our class close and it was nice that we all got along so well!

 I was in charge of rolls/pastries this month and since we were two days away from moving there was no way I was baking anything so Sister Shupert and I got together and made these yummy hot rolls (Sister Shupert is a frozen already baked brand in Mississippi). I went against the rules of making something new but that was the best I could do without a kitchen to work in!
