Two very nice waiters
Our homeschool group, Christ Church Homeschoolers, had it’s Spring Banquet last night. It was so well done, we were very impressed! Abbey, Payton, and Ethan were all servers. Each table had it’s own server, Ethan was ours. Payton has found a new passion – waiting tables! He took care of his own table so well, he started helping others with theirs!Â
Abbey loved being a server, too.Â
Each table had our salads, honey wheat rolls, cupcakes, and little baggies of candy for each person. Speaking of the food, the menu was planned and prepared by Chef Jessica (Marley’s cooking teacher and local celebrity chef). She was assisted by the other cooking students – Marley had to be at the church cooking both Thursday and Friday to get it all done. The main dish was a wonderful lasagna!Â
Ethan shows Marley to her seat – she and the other cooking students were released from their cooking duties so they could eat! The servers ate beforehand, in the kitchen. :)
Our co-op leader is Barbie. She’s extremely good at her job! And, it’s a bonus that she’s just as nice as can be. Here she is welcoming everyone and introducing Payton to pray for our dinner.  He volunteered to do this – the boy loves to pray.Â
Happy girl, lasagna is coming!Â
After dinner, each student received a diploma for completing their grade at CCH.Â
Payton, Ethan, and Marley
The whole group of pre-K through HS.  If you include babies – 3’s, we have 250 kids in the group. Â
Marley and her cooking class were recognized up on stage by Chef Jessica and presented with cooking tools as a thank you gift for their efforts in preparing the dinner. I don’t have a decent picture of it, since Marley always hides in the back when she’s on stage. Where would she get that from?
Some goofing around went on after it was all over – my friend Laurie and I get a little cheesy.Â
Laurie’s daughter Kenzie…you’ve gotta move fast to get her picture!Â
Lainey was seriously giddy about getting a balloon to take home. She batted it and giggled all the way home.Â
Hey! Where’s my diploma? I passed my 2’s and 3’s class, right?

That is so cool! I love the idea of the kids serving. How sweet! And Lainey? Well, she’s just adorable. :-)

Love that Payton really enjoys waiting on tables, but I hope you will tell him that there isn’t a lot of money in doing so. It is so like him to volunteer to pray. Who knows, maybe he will become a preacher one day??
Ethan and Abbey look good in the “waiting” outfits. I just love how involved my grands are in things like this. Tell Marley to get up front in pictures so that Gram can see her.
Lainey does look like she is enjoying everything, but then she always does… especially where food is concerned and her siblings are there.

It’s so nice to have people around you with the same goals, priorities, struggles and joys, isn’t it??? I am so glad there are some energetic folks that put together things like this for kids so they feel so important and accomplished!!!! Love you!
