Michael ran to the store for a few things for
me early Sunday morning (11/23) and I had cinnamon rolls waiting for him when
he got home. While he was gone, I got
Mexican Chicken Soup in the crockpot (people went CRAZY for it...we didn't have any left!)
and put together the 2 ruebenwiches. Then I headed downstairs to start quilting
the quilt. Miss Scarlet hiccupped on row
4 and I couldn’t get her to recognize where she was in the pattern, so I just
shut her down and headed upstairs again.
It was around 1:30 PM, so I made a chocolate pie and baklava cups....
2 loaves of corn
bread , and got mulled cider in Paula’s borrowed crockpot, vacuumed
the house and washed up all the dishes.
By then it was 4 PM and I was beat!
I sat down and read my book with my feet up for just a bit, then turned
on the oven and put together a mushroom & spinach pizza and a pepperoni
& onion pizza. Others were waiting for the guests to arrive as well...
People started
arriving and raving over the food!
We
had a wonderful time and I think everyone really liked the potholders as
gifts. Michael had wrapped all of them,
and the people who have received cast gifts from us before were REALLY excited to
see what the new one was. Everyone left
around 9 and both of us just collapsed and watched TV a bit before bed.
Looks like a wonderful party ! Great photos of the 'kids'... (MJ in CT)
