Pioneer Party Food Thoughts:
It worked out well that all of the sandwiches were quartered.   Big Sister and I make our own strawberry jam, so the PB&J sandwiches showcased that homemade effort.  Pioneers would not have had deli ham and cheese, but they certainly ate a lot of salt pork (which I suspect is closer to bacon).  The Ingalls family made their own cheese during the summer months.  I made homemade hot chocolate, but in the future I will remember that children don't care if it is homemade.  A summer Little House party would have lemonade instead.

Our Little House party was from 3 to 5 p.m.  I thought it would be best to serve a light meal given the timing, though looking back, we could have skipped the meal since we had a few snacks.

I must add that my mother-in-law was a huge help in preparing the food.  Friday we made apple pies and popcorn balls.  We prepared the rest of the food the day of the party.
