We had Pineapple Upside Down Cake
and Tuna Noodle Casserole
3 cans tuna drained
2 cans cream of mushroom soup
1 onion (sauteed)
1 package of rotini noodles (cooked)
1 small jar of pimentos
Mix all those together and throw some cheddar cheese on top. Make sure to add your favorite topping--bread crumbs, buttered cracker crumbs, french onions!
Bake until bubbly!
We played Scrabble, but you could also play Sorry!, Clue or Monopoly as a family. Those all come from the 1950's.
Television was new, so there are several shows from that time period you could watch together-Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet or Father Knows Best.
Tera and Daniel decided we should watch Harvey starring Jimmy Stewart. That is such a great movie.
My favorite quote:
"Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, "In this world,
Elwood, you must be" - she always called me Elwood - "In this world,
Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant." Well, for years I
was smart. I recommend pleasant.
You may quote me".
It was a great evening of family fun! We may try these theme nights more often!
