Sorry, I've been slow at posting this week. I got sick (just something to do with my lovely autoimmune disorder...APS) earlier in the week and needed a break. :) I take on so much sometimes that I forget that I just need to say NO sometimes and slow down.
Last weekend, we had December birthday celebrations. The boys stayed at the house and played poker. They had plenty of food and snacks while the girls went out. The girls took Kristen to
The Melting Pot to celebrate her birthday. Some of us girls hadn't been there and couldn't wait to try it. :)
Each table has cooking stations on it.
The first course is your cheese course. We got a Spinach Artichoke and a Wisconsin Three Cheese. We had tons of things to dip in the cheeses. Breads, chips, green apples, and veggies. It was sooooo good.
Our waiter took a group picture! :)
Here we are with our raw meats on a plate and on the burners are the broths warming up ready for our skewers. ;)
Skewers in the pot. Mine is the green handle one. :)
Dessert course we had a ton of things to dip in melted chocolates. Fruit, Rice Krispie treats, brownies, pound cake, cheesecake, marshmallows coats in oreo cookies and graham crackers. YUM! :)
The melting pot was a lot of fun. :) Here's our table after we got up. :)
After we got back to my house we opened gifts with the boys and had
Kit Kat Cake. Sharon was so cute. She was due this past week and she kept on snacking. We loved how she used her bump to hold her chips. haha :)
Meet Agnes! She was born on Thursday, December 8th at 7:04pm. She is so precious and I can't wait to help our friends, Sharon and Joe spoil her. :) I'm so happy for them. Sharon and Joe have been waiting so long for her. Their prayers have finally been answered which continues to give me HOPE for Nate and I.

When I was little I had a butterfinger candy bar and threw it up. Since then I never ever touched another butterfinger. LOL This past Halloween, I grabbed a quick lunch at the Chick-fil-a drivethru. At the bottom of my bag I noticed a fun size candy bar. What a nice little surprise. It was a butterfinger. At first, I was like BLECH, but then figured it was time to go ahead and try it (AGAIN). I ate it. Nope, I didn't throw it up. I really don't care for them at all. So, if we are together and you have a butterfinger you will not have to worry about me laying a finger on your butterfinger. :)
The last 2 weekends, I've had something I'd never ever tried. Sweet Potatoes and Sweet Potato Casserole!!! :) I definitely like the casserole better....probably b/c of the brown sugar and pecans. :) MMMMM!! Growing up my mother always made sweet potatoes for the family Thanksgiving dinners but I never once tried them. I just never found them appealing. I was also a picky eater when I was younger but I've really grown and love trying new things as an adult. :)
I decorated for Christmas today. :) I love sitting in the dark with the tree lit up.
