It was a success! We hosted Gardner's birthday party last Saturday and had such a fantastic turn out of family and friends. Everyone around me was incredibly helpful, from Jerry vacuuming and power washing, to my mom making her delicious spinach salad, to my mother-in-law running to the store for some last minute food. Take a look at some of the photos!
Tips for Picking Your Menu
I talked yesterday about what can happen when your food selection doesn't match your audience. You can review the post here.

I've been running a program here at the School of Government this week for new lawyers called Defender Trial School. We have 20 public defenders and 10 private lawyers that do appointed work honing their trial skills through plenary sessions and small workshop groups. Yesterday, they had an opportunity to practice voir dire, which is the term for interviewing potential jurors. We rounded up about 24 people to be mock jurors for the program and provided them a breakfast, but we learned a little something about our jurors yesterday when it comes to food.
