The kids were so excited for the Olympics this year we decided to have a party for the Opening Ceremonies. Dave had everyone pick a country to cheer for and we decorated the wall with signs/flags for our country. Noah, of course, chose USA because he wanted to make sure his country won some medals. Lyndsey first chose China but made the flag of Japan for decoration and decided to change to Japan instead of making the China flag. I chose France, after having Noah take USA from me, and Dave chose Azerbaijan, not sure why I guess just cause?
I think the toughest part was coming up with the menu. I looked and looked for ideas but either they didn't sound good or I knew it was something the kids wouldn't eat so I finally decided it was time to introduce the kids to fondue. A friend gave me the most delicious cheese fondue recipe and of course we had to have chocolate fondue for dessert. It was a blast, I think we had everything eaten by the time the Opening Ceremonies began, we started at 6:30 not realizing the the actual ceremony wasn't going to start until 8pm. After eating, we all got our blankets and pillows and settled in for the show. The kids were quite amused by the different costumes and performances but about 9:30 with Jacob and Max in bed, Noah asleep on the chair Lyndsey said it was time to turn it off, so we all went to bed. We wanted to see the lighting of the torch but the Fondue took it all out of us!!!!
