In the Potter house, we try to celebrate Harry Potter's birthday every year. Our last name is Potter, so how could we not? The kids decided they wanted to invite a few friends from church over to have a Harry Potter movie marathon so I thought, sure, this will be fun. So I posted a little something on the young women's facebook page (that's the girls ages 12-18 in our church congregation) saying to come watch 2 movies. I went & bought some food to feed them lunch & make some butterbeers & popcorn while they watched.
Well, apparently word travels really fast here. Not only did a lot of girls show up, but a TON of teenage boys from church showed up too. Then I realized there were girls & boys from the other ward (congregation) here as well. We had over 25 teens here for 5 hours. Luckily, I ALWAYS over buy food for things like this. I was lucky I did because these kids devoured my pantry.
Yes, it was a TON of kids. Yes, it was a little crazy. But you know what? It was a blast. My girls had fun. We met TONS of new people who are now my kids' friends at their new school, & we are all happy. What a great opportunity to meet people. I'm SO glad the word got around & that so many kids showed up. We had a blast.
