The decorations were a ton of work, and I wouldn't have been able to do it without the help of my mom, my sister-in-law Brooke, my neighbor Jess, and talented Enrichment Committee members. I have included some pictures for your enjoyment. We had posters of quotes from the Wizard of Oz movie around the room and tables decorated in honor of different characters from the Wizard of Oz.
Dorothy table: rainbow, ruby slippers, blue gingham, Toto, "There is no place like home" sign, and skittles (Taste the Rainbow!)
Tin Man table: hearts, oil can, tin foil, Tin Man's hat, and Hershey kisses
Lion table: crown, stuffed lions, medal of courage, animal crackers ("lions and tigers and bears--oh my!")
Scarecrow table: scarecrow, crows, diploma, candy corn
Wicked Witch table: Witch on broomstick, witch hat, Wicked CD case, quotes by the witch, black licorice
Glinda table: Glinda hat, star wand, bubbles, pink candy
Munckinland talble : certificate of death for the Wicked Witch of the East, lollipops, mini oreos, mini muffins, mini candy
Emerald City table: the Emerald City "towers" (jars with green scrapbook paper), green sunglasses, green candy
Table with random Wizard of Oz paraphernelia. Notice the Yellow Brick Road!Our menu included the following: Wicked Witch's Poppy Seed Chicken Casserole, Over the Rainbow Jello Salad, Munchkin Muffins, and Winged Monkey Banana Pudding for dessert. I think the whole thing went really well, but I am sooooo glad that it is over! If any of you ever want to throw a Wizard of Oz themed birthday party or activity, just let me know!

Talk about creative! Wish I was in your ward... that surely would have energized me to do my visiting teaching. Well done!
Our ward did this last year for March (thankfully I wasn't the leader then). I looks like you guys did a ton more work, though! The table decorations are darling! We just had our E night, too, but silly me forgot to bring my camera! What are you doing for June? Love you, crafty Bill!
This looks amazing. I am astonished by your talent, Bee. Also, I am now officially exhausted by empathizing about your planning as I looked at each one. There's no way I could pull this off like you did.
Wow! You are so amazingly creative and talented! I wouldn't have come up with even half that stuff - way to go! Thanks for sharing your great ideas!
what a great idea, I am passing this one on to my ward. So cute!
Enrichment turned out great! I really enjoyed going! You did a great job with everything.
You are such a crafty Latter-day Saint!
I can't wait to hang out with you on the 28th!!
Looks like it turned out great! I'm glad for you that it is over, too!
That is super cute! You are so creative! I was hoping you guys had a blog! I'm excited to be "blogging friends" too. :)
What a cute idea! I am so impressed! I miss our walks too. Are you still in the same ward? Guess what! I finally took out my endowments. Patrick and I are going to get sealed in the next month or two. We are excited!
Wow, I am so impressed! I am glad it all worked out. It was fun seeing you guys the other night, let's do it again, when Alan is over his busy season!
Wow! The decorations look like a ton of work. Congrats on your fabulous job on Enrichment. I just finished our Enrichment last week, I kept the decorations really simple, red and yellow tulips with red and yellow napkins on white table cloths. We had a service auction that was a ton of fun.
This looks fabulous! I may need to steal this idea for a YW activity...
