The second annual dinner hosted by Tawna and Nathan for all the adults in our family. It is their Christmas gift to us every year and is one of my personal favorites. Each year we get a memory to cherish as well as spend time with each other sans the kids which is rare indeed. This year they opted for a fun Dinner and a Murder. Tawna went online and found this Murder at Deadwood Saloon to entertain us with. She made cute paper sacks with the formal invitation and a Character description of who we would be for the evening inside. Everyone took it to heart and went about searching for something appropriate to wear. Some of us went to Goodwill to find just the thing to make our character. Some went to friends who had the perfect thing, and even others found the perfect thing right in their own closets. No one spent a lot of money and everyone looked fabulous.
None of us were to know anything about the other characters except their name and role. The various character traits were only for the eyes of the role player. Tawna and Nathan went to a lot of work to put this on and make it as authentic as possible on a budget and to keep it all a surprise. It was really fun to shop, forage and borrow the props to make this night as special as they wanted to for us. She has offered to let people borrow her purchased copy of the mystery to host a night of their own. It can be added to, and customized to fit any group. The grandkids were so sorry to miss out on this mystery dinner. We will have to go back online and find one that will work for them. The website is nightofmystery.com.
The following posts describe our night and the wonderful memory we will have of our gift. Thanks Tawna and Nathan for bringing some drama and mystery to our lives. You are the best.
