I know I am late on this post but it's how I am operating right now....slow. Anyway, Jason and I hosted the Duty's vision for an awesome Olympics Opening ceremony party. I am a much bigger fan of the Summer Olympics over the Winter ones. I got so in to it this year. Which was kind of easy seeing that I don't have a job. So I told Jason I would make it my job to make sure I was able to give him a full report on those day's events. He sure is lucky that I had all that extra free time:)
Traci had been planning this party in her head for a while now and I am just thankful I could help pull it off. We had everyone pick a country in which they also had to bring a food dish from. We also encouraged everyone to dress up like their country or an athlete. We had such a fun group of people and everyone participated. The food was a little random but definitly delicious. From Sushi and Fried rice to Swedish meatballs and bratwurst.
The table...we had flags to represent where the food had come from. The sad part was we had a hard time knowing what each flag was. I think Bermuda 
The Participants and their country.
The Depauw's and their little Olympic torch were the USA.
The Wilson's and their Gold metal Costumes. They represented Japan.
The Duty's were Ikea workers from Sweden. 
Matt and Julie (the Newlyweds) were Mexico.
Nick and Hannah were French men. They won the Silver medal for their awesome costume.
Since Jason and I hosted the party, we were the host country and ping pong players.
Jamie and Steven brought Pizzas from Italy but came as Paul and Morgan Hamm. It was just sad that the Hamm brothers were injured and couldn't compete. 
These crazy islanders came from Bermuda.
It was such a great party and it helped that the openig ceremonies were awesome too! We are already looking forward to the party in 2012 for the London games.

That is the coolest idea, and you have some awesome crazy friends who made it that much more fun I'm sure! I totally want to steal this idea in about 4 years! :)
Looks like you had a great party. Wish we lived closer so that we could have come. The costumes were great!
That is AWESOME! Love the idea and love that everyone got so into it.
I was hoping that I'd see one of the guys in the swimming or diving getup.
You are hilarious! I love dressing up, maybe it's because of social club events. Any whoo, I think my vote would have been for you and Jason. That was pretty good!
dang. We didn't even make the cut to the party! I guess we go to the wrong church! Fun party!
Looks like a blast. I am jealous of your group!! Love and miss you.
Yall are so fun. We are so boring. Kip and I would just lay awake in bed watching the olympics alone. Boooorrrriinnnggggg.
