"E"

This week's dinner was such a great time having so many of our friends in town to experience our alphabet dinner.

Since Meredith was gone, Alexis took the job of dressing with the theme.
Note her elephants


We had so much fun food this week!
For drinks: Easy Street Beer. Appetizers included: endive "shooters", edamame, and extra sharp cheddar with extra crackers.



Earlier in the day we took the 12 passenger van to Rooster Cogburn Ostrich Ranch where Dave let the Lorikeets eat nectar out of his belly button. From the ranch we brought back an ostrich egg that the Fergs made into an excellent egg scramble.

Fun Fact: 1 ostrich egg = about 24 chicken eggs


We also had an egg-cellent casserole, 3 different types of enchiladas, and elbow mac and cheese.



For dessert: Earl Grey cupcakes!


Everybody we love...

"D"

D is for Daisies!


Tuesday night we had a smaller group, but we still managed to have the most random food combos. For appetizers we had an assortment of dips and Doritos.


For drinks the Joneses made daiquiris.



We also had Diet Dr. Pepper, dill deviled eggs, drumsticks, deli pasta, and DiGiorno.




For dessert we had Drumsticks and "Delicious Dessert Dirt Cake".


Meredith has stepped it up and started to dress with the theme...dresses and her duck earrings that aren't shown.

To end the night we all played Deal.


"D" was fun, but I am excited for "E"!

"C"


This is a bit delayed and now it's almost time for "D", but "C" dinner was a success!
I mean Chris Comings was there, that's all we really needed.

To start we had a cream cheese creation with crackers and a tray of celery, carrots, and cauliflower.

For drinks we had Cerveza and this wonderful Costa Rican drink, Carinitos, made by Paula.


Our main dishes consisted of: corn on the cob, chicken chili, "crazy cheesy chicken cracker casserole", couscous, and a variety of corn bread!



Meredith never fails to dress up: capris, cherry earrings, and a cat necklace
(just for you Amy).



For dessert we had cherry cheesecake, chocolate chip cookies, and cookie dough ice cream!




We are blessed
