We were at Dallas’ Aunt Laura’s house and she has a plate displayed for every kid going back a couple generations. There are decorated plates hung for people who are married and have their own kids already and then the kids plates are hung too. For some reason Brad and his sister Ali made cups when they were little, which are hard to display with the plates, so Auntie Laura made them do a plate even though they are both 20+ now. Mitch and Chris were telling Brad what they thought he should draw (Mitch and Chris already have plates on display that they decorated.) I believe Brad’s plate ended up having a keg on it.. yet somehow it still looked like a 5-year-old drew it.

I don’t know where these plates come from. It seemed like the older ones were plastic .. or melmac (?) but these new ones were porcelain-like. Each plate comes with a set of markers to write on the plate and then you just have to let it sit for 12 hours or something to make sure it’s set.
