What To Do For Refreshments?

I've been trying to nail down the desserts that we'll serve at Joseph's open house next Saturday. I tried to narrow down the options by focusing on food colors. If we do pink, red, pruple and gree, we could do: 

• Drinks: cut up grape fruits and lemons in water
• Fruit: Red grapes and watermelon
• Veggies: Bell peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, kalamata olives, celery, carrots, roasted hummus or trader joe hummus:
• Treats: Vanilla ice cream with berries. 

Do we do that and dessert bars from BYU catering?? Ugh, I'm having a hard time making a decision...

Blondie Bar - 1/2 Sheet $35.99

Cheesecake Bar - 1/2 Sheet 34.99

Lemon Bar - 1/2 Sheet $31.49

Raspberry Bar - 1/2 Sheet $33.49

7 Layer Bar - 1/2 Sheet $41.99

Of course I remember what the Whatever Works catering lady said: The more variety we have, the more we'll need to order cause people will want to try everything. I gotta keep it simple. Just dessert bars? Corey wanted to see more options... so I've been looking at BYU food to go again, and if we just want to throw money at it, these are more options:

• Mint Brownie - 1/2 Sheet $32.98
• Mint Brownie with Nuts - 1/2 Sheet $32.98
• Mint Brownie - Gluten Friendly - 1/2 Sheet $49.98
• Frosted Brownie - 1/2 Sheet $32.98
• Frosted Brownie with Nuts - 1/2 Sheet $32.98
• Sugar Cookies are $6.99 a dozen
• Cookie Tray - 7dz $59.99 On 18" tray with pair of tongs
• Lemon - Lemon cookie with powdered sugar on top
• Mudslide Cookies - Chocolate fudge cookie with powdered sugar sprinkled on top 
• White Chocolate Chip and Craisin Cookies - Chewie Cookie made with White Chocolate Chips and Dried Cranberries

Ugh. I texted Nicole for help yesterday. Today she replied with helpful advice: "1 table, 5 choices, displayed well, water/drinks on separate table. Theme: Dessert Bar - Blondie, Cheesecake, Raspberry, 7 Layer, Lemon"

Sigh, thank you Nicole! I'll do that. Done. Now I'll go try to breath and watch butterflies. Our first one emerged today! A female.

Playing with the butterfly outside.

Giving Daniel a turn.

Now my turn. Pretty lady.

The kids are excited with the first few when it's a new event. They probably won't be as interested as the summer goes on. The kids at scriptures tonight. I'm glad that they are close!
