TAG -You're IT
I'm hoping that this plate will start a fun family tradition that we can enjoy for years to come. I'm starting it as a game which I hope to see go on infinitely. I've named our game TAG- You're IT. I hope everyone contributes to the game and keeps it going. Imagine the fun the kids/grandkids/greatgrandkids/ etc will have when they inherit the tradition and get to read about their ancestors.

When you are tagged it will be your responsibility to fill the plate with something special and TAG someone else. It doesn't have to be a special occasion and it doesn't have to be food related. It could be a movie ticket or gift card, etc. Try to be creative about what you give and how to try to be sneaky about tagging someone.

Don't forget to log who you give/receive the plate from, what was on it, the occasion (if any), and if there was a clever way that you were "tagged"

I've been struggling with ideas on how to get the plate started. I was trying to think of a way to randomly "tag" someone rather than choose a particular family member. But then I had another thought so I will be starting it with my firstborn grandson, Emery.

Today, Jan 1.2010 I am tagging my firstborn grandson Emery. We are having our family Christmas get-together today (due to bad weather last week). Emery spent the night and saw me with the plate and I explained the game to him. He thought it sounded like fun so I decided maybe it would be fun to start with him. Now I no longer have to think of a way to randomly tag one of my own children.

I fixed Emery a snack of mozzarella sticks and marinara sauce and served it up on the plate with a snowman label that said TAG - You're IT. I took a picture but I don't see a way to upload it.

I'm excited to watch everyone get "tagged" and read about their stories.

HAPPY NEW YEAR'S
Sonnie Allen
