Marathon Party Day and Dinner Club

This past Saturday was packed with activity. 9-10:30am Church Preschool Easter Party, 10:30-12:30pm good friend Ryan's 3rd "Construction" Birthday Party, 1-3:30pm big nap to recover from all the excitement of bouncy castles and chasing down Easter eggs, 4-6pm good friend Annabell's 3rd "Bowling" Birthday Party, 6-10:30pm hang out with sweet Ellie and dear Miss Carleen while mommy and daddy host "German Night" for their Dinner Group! Wow, what a fun day!

Counting the eggs.Diving in... you still don't like candy, but you were excited just the same!
Marc, the chef, prepares a German FEAST! We are in a dinner club with 3 other couples: The Strasbaughs, The Lindmarks, first The Weavers and now The Andersons. We get together once a month at alternating homes to eat a fabulous meal and catch up on each others lives (not hard to do in sweet little Altus where we see each family multiple times a week anyway... but still very nice to have an uninterrupted evening to spend together). This month it was our turn again, and we decided to try to make a German meal. I wasn't expecting much since the recipes we chose didn't sound all that exciting to me... but WOW was it delicious! We'll definitely add these dishes to our repertoire.
